In re Omnicom Group. Inc. ERISA Litigation

Document and request

The provided text is a January 27, 2023 letter from counsel for Omnicom Group Inc., the Board of Directors of Omnicom Group Inc., and the Administrative Committee of the Omnicom Group Retirement Savings Plan. The letter asks the court for permission to file the parties’ Joint Stipulation of Facts under seal before trial.

Proposed redactions

The defendants said they had reviewed the Joint Stipulation of Facts line by line and wanted to redact two categories of information: proprietary information in Mercer presentations to the Administrative Committee and pricing information from a request-for-proposals process seeking recordkeeping-fee proposals from five recordkeepers. The defendants stated that the plaintiffs did not object to the proposed redactions.

The defendants said they would file a publicly available version with sensitive information redacted and a sealed version showing the proposed redactions. They asked the court to direct the electronic filing clerk to seal the Joint Stipulation of Facts. They also said they would revise the filing if the court later changed the defendants’ requests concerning other sealing motions.

Disposition

The provided text is a party’s letter motion, not a court order. It does not state that Judge Colleen McMahon granted, denied, or otherwise resolved the sealing request. The court’s disposition cannot be determined from the provided text.
