      This  prospectus   supplement   relates  to  the  resale  by  the  selling

      This  prospectus  supplement  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the
prospectus  dated  February  26,  2001,  which  is to  be  delivered  with  this
prospectus  supplement.  All  capitalized  terms  used  but not  defined  in the
prospectus supplement shall have the meanings given them in the prospectus.

      The  following  information  replaces  in  its  entirety  the  information
provided in the prospectus under the caption "Selling Securityholders."

                             SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

      The LYONs were originally issued by us and sold by Merrill Lynch,  Pierce,
Fenner & Smith  Incorporated  in a  transaction  exempt  from  the  registration
requirements  of the  Securities Act to persons  reasonably  believed by Merrill
Lynch to be "qualified  institutional buyers" (as defined by Rule 144A under the
Securities  Act).  The  selling   securityholders  (which  term  includes  their
transferees,  pledgees,  donees or  successors)  may from time to time offer and
sell pursuant to this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, any and all of the
LYONs and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion  and/or redemption
of the LYONs.

      Set  forth  below  are the  names  of  each  selling  securityholder,  the
principal  amount of LYONs that may be offered  by such  selling  securityholder
pursuant  to this  prospectus,  as  amended or  supplemented,  and the number of
shares of common stock into which such LYONs are  convertible.  Unless set forth
below, none of the selling  securityholders has had a material relationship with
us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years.

      The following  table sets forth certain  information  received by us on or
prior to May 3, 2001.  However,  any or all of the LYONs or common  stock listed
below may be  offered  for sale  pursuant  to this  prospectus,  as  amended  or
supplemented,  by the selling securityholders from time to time. Accordingly, no
estimate  can be given as to the  amounts of LYONs or common  stock that will be
held by the selling  securityholders  upon  consummation  of any such sales.  In
addition,   the  selling   securityholders   identified  below  may  have  sold,
transferred  or otherwise  disposed of all or a portion of their LYONs since the
date  on  which  the  information   regarding  their  LYONs  was  provided,   in
transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

(1)   Assumes  conversion of all of the holder's  LYONs at a conversion  rate of
      9.09 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the
      LYONs.  However,  this  conversion  rate will be subject to  adjustment as
      described  under  "Description  of the LYONs --  Conversion  Rights." As a
      result,  the amount of common stock issuable upon  conversion of the LYONs
      may increase or decrease in the future.

(2)   Merrill  Lynch,  Pierce,  Fenner  & Smith  Incorporated  was  the  initial
      purchaser in the private  placement on February 7, 2001 in which the LYONs
      were originally issued.  Merrill Lynch has advised us that it is not aware
      of any position,  office or directorship relationship that it has had with
      Omnicom or its affiliates.  However,  Merrill Lynch has advised us that it
      may have,  from time to time,  acted in a  financial  investment  advisory
      capacity to Omnicom.

(3)   Morgan  Stanley  & Co.  Incorporated  was  the  initial  purchaser  in the
      offering of $230,000,000  aggregate principal amount of 2 1/4% convertible
      subordinated debentures due 2013 on January 6, 1998 by Omnicom.

(4)   Information  about  other  selling  securityholders  will be set  forth in
      prospectus supplements, if required.

(5)   Assumes  that any other  holders  of  LYONs,  or any  future  transferees,
      pledgees, donees or successors of or from any such other holders of LYONs,
      do not  beneficially  own any common  stock  other  than the common  stock
      issuable upon conversion of the LYONs at the initial conversion rate.

      The preceding table has been prepared based upon information  furnished to
us by the  selling  securityholders  named  in the  table.  From  time to  time,
additional  information  concerning  ownership of the LYONs and common stock may
rest with certain holders thereof not named in the preceding table, with whom we
believe we have no affiliation.  Information  about the selling  securityholders
may  change  from  over  time.  Any  changed  information  will be set  forth in
prospectus supplements.
