LiveRamp Holdings

Money Moves

Acquisition cleared by the FTC with conditions; deal expected to close before the end of 2026

The Federal Trade Commission voted 2-0 on Oct. 19 to let Publicis Groupe finish its $2.2 billion purchase of LiveRamp, on condition that LiveRamp keeps serving rivals on equal terms for five years. Publicis must also wall off LiveRamp customer data from its own staff and submit to independent audits.
