2023 AGM VOTING UPDATE STATEMENT

 

Kingfisher plc (the 'Company') today provides an update regarding the results
of the Annual General Meeting (the 'AGM'), held on 27 June 2023, at which all
resolutions were passed by poll with the requisite majority.

 

The Board notes that there were 21.54% of votes cast against Resolution 19
(Authority to disapply pre-emption rights for an additional ten percent).

 

In accordance with Provision 4 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, the
Company has consulted with its major shareholders and understands that some,
as a matter of policy, do not support resolutions giving companies a general
authority to disapply pre-emption rights without further approval from
shareholders. The Board notes that the authorities requested are, however,
consistent with the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles.

 

The Company will continue to engage with shareholders on this matter ahead of
the Company's AGM in 2024 and when determining the appropriate levels of share
allotment authority to seek.
