KINGFISHER PLC
Share repurchase programme - Fourth Tranche
28 November 2025: Kingfisher plc (the "Company" or "Kingfisher") announces that it has instructed Morgan Stanley & Co. International Plc ("Morgan Stanley") in relation to a non-discretionary programme to purchase its shares for cancellation, during the period which commences today and ends no later than 21 January 2026 (the "Tranche"). Morgan Stanley will act as riskless principal for the simultaneous on-sale of such shares to the Company and will make its trading decisions concerning the timing of the purchases of the Company's ordinary shares independently of the Company.
The maximum amount allocated to the Tranche (excluding expenses) will be no greater than £50 million (Note 1). The purpose of the Tranche is to reduce the share capital of the Company. As such, the Company will cancel any ordinary shares purchased. This is the fourth tranche of an overall commitment by the Company to purchase £300 million of its shares for cancellation, as announced on 25 March 2025 (the "Programme").
Any acquisitions under the Programme will be carried out within certain pre-set parameters, and in accordance with the Company's general authority to repurchase shares, the EU Market Abuse Regulation (596/2014) as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and Chapter 9 of the UK Listing Rules. The Company confirms that it currently has no unpublished price sensitive information.
For the avoidance of doubt, no repurchases will be made in respect of the Company's American Depositary Receipts.
Note 1. The maximum number of shares that the Company may purchase would be 135,485,029 ordinary shares of 15 5/7 pence each, in line with the authority granted to Kingfisher by shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting on 23 June 2025 and taking into account the 42,832,294 shares cancelled following purchases since this date.
To date, the Company has repurchased and cancelled 60,765,165 shares under the Programme.
