IN BRIEF: Next Fifteen says M&C Saatchi offer will not be approved

Next Fifteen Communications Group PLC - London-based digital marketing firm - Admits that takeover offer for London-based advertising agency M&C Saatchi PLC is unlikely to be approved by M&C Saatchi shareholders at a general meeting called for October 31. London-listed takeover vehicle AdvancedAdvT Ltd and its chair Vin Murria, who together hold 22% of M&C Saatchi shares, are bound to vote against the scheme, due to a previous statement, Next 15 notes.
