"The company will co-operate fully with the FCA," it said.
Saatchi also warned in its update in December that 2019 underlying pre-tax profit would be "significantly below" the levels expected at the time of the interim results due to weaker-than-expected trading in the final quarter of the year and higher-than-expected central costs.
At 0950 GMT, the shares were down 8.6% at 101p.
