RECKITT BENCKISER GROUP PLC

 CHANGE OF EXTERNAL AUDITOR

Reckitt Benckiser Group plc ("Reckitt" or the "Company") today announces that
it has completed a formal and competitive tender process for its external
auditor, overseen by its Audit Committee, which has carefully evaluated the
offering of each participant.

This has resulted in a recommendation from the Audit Committee, which has now
been endorsed by the Board, that a resolution be put to shareholders for
approval at the 2026 Annual General Meeting ('AGM'), appointing
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as external auditor of the Company and its
subsidiaries for the year ending 31 December 2026.

 

KPMG LLP, who have been the Company's external auditor since the year ended 31
December 2018, will continue in the role until that time, and will therefore
undertake the audit for the year ending 31 December 2025.  KPMG LLP will
cease to hold office as the external auditor of the Company at the conclusion
of the Company's 2026 AGM.
