NEW YORK With the vast majority of Taylor Nelson Sofres investors still holding out, WPP Group said it has again extended the deadline for acceptance of the holding company’s nearly $2.2 billion offer to acquire the research firm.

The new deadline is Sept. 26. The initial WPP deadline expired Aug. 29, when shareholders representing less than 9 percent of the company’s stock had agreed to accept to the terms of the proposal. The deadline was then extended to Sept.
