Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Our common stock is listed and trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol “OMC”. As of January 30, 2026, there were 5,302 shareholders of record.
Cash Dividends
During 2025, we paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.70 per share to shareholders of record in the first three quarters of the year. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.80 per share to shareholders of record, reflecting a $0.10 per share increase, for a total of $2.90 per share for the year. Although we intend to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends, the declaration and payment of future dividends is subject to the discretion of the Board and will depend on financial and legal requirements and capital allocation considerations.
