such authorities to apply until the end of the Company's next Annual General Meeting after this Resolution is passed (or, if earlier, until the close of business on 28 August 2016) but, in each case, so that the Company may make offers and enter into agreements before the authority expires which would, or might, require shares to be allotted or rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares to be granted after the authority expires and the directors may allot shares or grant such rights under any such offer or agreement as if the authority had not expired. References in this Resolution 15 to the nominal amount of rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares (including where such rights are referred to as equity securities as defined in section 560(1) of the Companies Act 2006) are to the nominal amount of shares that may be allotted pursuant to the rights.

such power to apply until the end of the Company's next Annual General Meeting after this Resolution is passed (or, if earlier, until the close of business on 28 August 2016) but so that the Company may make offers and enter into agreements before the power expires which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted after the power expires and the directors may allot equity securities under any such offer or agreement as if the power had not expired.

• 17. That a general meeting other than an annual general meeting may be called on not less than 14 clear days' notice.

• (d) this authority (unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in general meeting) expires at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or 28 August 2016, whichever is the earlier; and

By Order of the Board

Annual General Meeting/Explanatory Notes to the Resolutions

The Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held at Northampton Rugby Football Club, Franklin's Gardens, Weedon Road, Northampton NN5 5BG, on Thursday 28 May 2015 at 12.00 noon. Directions to Northampton Rugby Football Club can be found on page 10. A buffet lunch will be available.

The purpose of these explanatory notes is to explain the business to be considered at the Annual General Meeting.

The Board considers that all of the resolutions proposed are in the best interests of the Company and of its shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of all resolutions put before the Annual General Meeting, as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings.

Resolution 1: Accounts and reports

The Chairman will present the accounts and reports of the directors for the year ended 31 December 2014 to the Annual General Meeting.

Resolution 2: Directors' Remuneration Report

The Directors' Remuneration Report (which is set out on pages 96 to 116) of the Annual Report contains (i) the Annual Report on remuneration; and (ii) the annual statement by the chairman of the Remuneration Committee.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution which seeks shareholder approval for the Directors' Remuneration Report (other than the part containing the remuneration policy), which gives details of the implementation of the Company's remuneration policy during the year ended 31 December 2014. Also included in the Annual Report for ease of reference is the remuneration policy which was approved at and took effect from the Company's 2014 Annual General Meeting. The remuneration policy is subject to a binding shareholder vote by ordinary resolution at least every three years and is not subject to a vote this year.

The vote upon this Resolution is advisory. The vote is not specific to individual levels of remuneration and the directors' entitlement to remuneration is not conditional upon it.

Resolution 3: Final dividend

A final dividend of 25.75 pence per ordinary share for the year ended 31 December 2014 is recommended by directors for payment. If you approve the recommended final dividend, this will be paid on 1 June 2015 to all ordinary shareholders on the register of members at the close of business on 1 May 2015.

Resolutions 4 to 12: Directors

Resolutions 4 to 12 deal with the election/re-election of the directors. In accordance with the requirements of the UK Corporate Governance Code, all of the directors are standing for re-election or, in the case of Coline McConville, Pete Redfern and John Rogers, election by the shareholders at this year's Annual General Meeting. Biographies of each of the directors can be found on page 6 of this document.

The Board has confirmed, following a performance review, that all directors standing for re-election or election continue to perform effectively and demonstrate commitment to their roles.

The Board has considered whether each of the independent non-executive directors is free from any relationship that could materially interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgement and has determined that each continues to be considered to be independent.

Resolution 13: Auditor

The Company is required to appoint its external auditor at each general meeting at which accounts are presented, to hold office until the end of the next meeting of that type.

The Company has concluded a competitive tender process to appoint an external auditor for 2015 onwards. On the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board is recommending to shareholders the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company's new auditor as the successful firm following the tender process. This Resolution therefore requests shareholders appoint KPMG LLP as auditor of the Company. Deloitte LLP (the Company's current auditor), having completed the audit of the Company's 2014 financial statements, will not seek reappointment and will therefore cease to hold office at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.

Deloitte LLP has given a statement of circumstances in connection with their ceasing to hold office as auditor as required by company law, which is set out at page 12 of this document.

Resolution 14: Auditor's remuneration

Resolution 14 follows best practice in corporate governance by separately seeking authority for the Audit Committee to determine the auditor's remuneration.

Resolution 15: Renewal of authority to allot shares

Paragraph (a) of this Resolution would give the directors the authority to allot ordinary shares up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to £8,294,260 (representing 82,942,600 ordinary shares of 10 pence each). This amount represents approximately one-third of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 7 April 2015, the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice.

In line with guidance issued by the Association of British Insurers (the "ABI"), paragraph (b) of this resolution would give the directors authority to allot ordinary shares in connection with a rights issue in favour of ordinary shareholders up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to £16,588,520 (representing 165,885,200 ordinary shares of 10 pence each), as reduced by the nominal amount of any shares issued under paragraph (a) of this Resolution. This amount (before any reduction) represents approximately two-thirds of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 7 April 2015, the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice. The authorities sought under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Resolution will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or, if earlier, on 28 August 2016.

The directors have no present intention of allotting new ordinary shares, other than to satisfy options under the Company's employee share option schemes. However, the directors consider it appropriate to maintain the flexibility that this authority provides.

Resolution 16: Disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights

This Resolution would give the directors the authority to allot ordinary shares (or sell any ordinary shares which the Company elects to hold in treasury) for cash pursuant to the authority granted under Resolution 15 without first offering them to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings.

Except as provided in the next paragraph, this authority would be limited to allotments or sales in connection with pre-emptive offers and offers to holders of other equity securities if required by the rights of those shares or as the Board otherwise considers necessary. Pursuant to limb (a) of the Resolution, allotments made under the authorisation in paragraph (b) of Resolution 15 would be limited to allotments by way of a rights issue only (subject to the right of the Board to impose necessary or appropriate limitations to deal with, for example, fractional entitlements and regulatory matters).

This disapplication authority is in line with institutional shareholder guidance, and in particular with the Pre-emption Group's Statement of Principles (the "Pre-emption Principles"). The Pre-emption Principles were revised in 2015 to allow the authority for an issue of shares for cash otherwise than in connection with a pre-emptive offer to be increased from 5% to 10% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital, provided that the Company confirms that it intends to use the additional 5% authority only in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment. The Board therefore confirms, in accordance with the Pre-emption Principles, that to the extent that the authority in paragraph (b) of Resolution 16 is used for an issue of ordinary shares with a nominal value in excess of £1,244,139 (that is 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 7 April 2015), it intends that it will only be used in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment which is announced contemporaneously with the issue, or which has taken place in the preceding six-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the issue.

The Board also confirms, in accordance with the Pre-emption Principles, that it does not intend to issue shares for cash representing more than 7.5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital in any rolling three-year period other than to existing shareholders, save as permitted in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment as described above, without prior consultation with shareholders.

The authority will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or, if earlier, on 28 August 2016. Any issue of shares for cash will, however, still be subject to the requirements of the UK Listing Authority.

As stated above, the directors have no present intention of allotting new ordinary shares, other than to satisfy options under the Company's employee share option schemes. However, the directors consider it appropriate to maintain the flexibility that this authority provides.

Resolution 17: Notice of Meetings

The Companies Act 2006 requires that the notice period for general meetings of a listed company is 21 days unless certain requirements are satisfied, including that shareholders approve a shorter notice period, which cannot be less than 14 clear days. At the Annual General Meeting held in 2014, shareholders approved a notice period for general meetings (other than Annual General Meetings) of not less than 14 clear days effective until this year's Annual General Meeting. This Resolution is proposed to allow the Company to continue to call general meetings (other than Annual General Meetings) on 14 clear days' notice. The directors believe it is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Company to preserve the shorter notice period and accordingly are putting this Resolution, to be proposed as a special resolution, to the Meeting. The shorter notice period would not be used as a matter of routine for general meetings, but only where the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be to the advantage of shareholders as a whole. Examples of when it might be appropriate to call a general meeting at 14 days' notice include when emergency capital raising proposals or other price sensitive transactions are being put to shareholders for approval. The approval will be effective until the Company's Annual General Meeting in 2016, when it is expected that a similar resolution will be proposed. Under the Companies Act 2006 in order to be able to call a general meeting on less than 21 clear days' notice, the Company must make a means of electronic voting available to all shareholders.

Resolution 18: Authority to purchase own shares

The authority for the Company to purchase its own shares of 10 pence each granted at last year's Annual General Meeting will expire on the date of the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. The directors wish to renew this authority and accordingly Resolution 18 will be proposed as a special resolution at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting to give the Company the authority to purchase its own ordinary shares in the market as permitted by the Companies Act 2006. The authority limits the number of shares that could be purchased to a maximum of 24,882,780 (representing approximately 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 7 April 2015) and sets minimum and maximum prices. This authority will expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or, if earlier, on 28 August 2016.

The directors consider that it is in the best interests of the Company to have available this authorisation, in case of circumstances when it would be appropriate to use it. They would only use it after consideration of the effect on earnings per share and the longer-term benefit for the Company and shareholders generally. The fact that such authorisation is being sought should not be taken to imply that shares would be purchased at any particular price or indeed at all. Any ordinary shares purchased pursuant to this authority may either be held as treasury shares or cancelled by the Company, depending on which course of action is considered by the directors to be in the best interests of shareholders at the time.

As at 7 April 2015, there were options to subscribe for 5,491,228 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, which represent 2.21% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding any treasury shares). If the full authority to purchase own shares were to be used, and the shares cancelled, these outstanding options would represent approximately 2.45% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding any treasury shares) as at that date. As at 7 April 2015, the Company did not hold any treasury shares in the Company and no warrants over ordinary shares in the capital of the Company existed.

Substantial Shareholdings

No notifications have been received by the Company after the 31 December 2014 and up to 1 April 2015. Accordingly, the substantial shareholding information as at 1 April 2015 is as set out on page 120 of the Report & Accounts.

Notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting

Proxies

• 1. A form of proxy is enclosed and instructions for its use are shown on the form. The appointment of a proxy will not prevent a member from subsequently attending, voting and speaking at the Meeting in person, in which case any votes of the proxy will be superceded.
• 2. A member of the Company is entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of his rights to attend, speak and vote at a general meeting of the Company. A member may appoint more than one proxy, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attaching to different shares. A proxy need not be a member.
• 3. To appoint more than one proxy, (an) additional proxy form(s) may be obtained by contacting the Registrars or you may photocopy the form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. Please also indicate by ticking the box provided if the proxy instruction is one of multiple instructions being given. All forms must be signed and should be returned together in the same envelope.
• 4. The right to appoint a proxy under notes 1 and 2 above does not apply to persons whose shares are held on their behalf by another person and who have been nominated to receive communication from the Company in accordance with Section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 ("nominated persons"). Nominated persons may have a right under an agreement with the registered shareholder who holds shares on their behalf to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy. Alternatively, if nominated persons do not have such a right, or do not wish to exercise it, they may have a right under such an agreement to give instructions to the person holding the shares as to the exercise of voting rights.
• 5. To be effective, the instrument appointing a proxy and any authority under which it is signed (or a notarially certified copy of such authority) for the Annual General Meeting to be held at Northampton Rugby Football Club, Franklin's Gardens, Weedon Road, Northampton NN5 5BG, at 12.00 noon on Thursday 28 May 2015 and any adjournment(s) thereof must be returned to Capita Asset Services at PXS, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4TU, by 12.00 noon on 26 May 2015. Alternatively you may appoint your proxy online by accessing the Share Portal at www.travisperkins-shares.com, logging in and selecting the "Proxy Voting" link. If you have not previously registered for electronic communications, you will first be asked to register as a new user, for which you will require your investor code (which can be found on the enclosed proxy form, your share certificate or dividend tax voucher), family name and postcode (if resident in the UK).
• 6. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual.

CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s) should refer to their CREST sponsors or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

In order for a proxy appointment made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the Company's agent (ID RA10) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments (12.00 noon on 26 May 2015). For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the Company's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.

CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors and voting service providers should note that Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings. The CREST Manual can be reviewed at www.euroclear.com/CREST

The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

Voting Record Time

• 7. Only those members entered on the register of members of the Company as at 6.00pm on 26 May 2015 shall be entitled to attend or vote at the Meeting in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time. Changes to entries on the register of members after that time shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the Meeting.
• 8. Reference to the register means the issuer register of members and the Operator register of members maintained in accordance with Regulation 20 of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

Corporate Representatives

9. Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of the same powers as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual member.
