DIRECTORATE CHANGE
The Board of Travis Perkins plc (“Travis Perkins” or the “Company”) today
announces that regrettably, as a result of ill health, Pete Redfern will
be stepping down as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and from the Board
with immediate effect. Consistent with the values of the Company, the
Board supports Pete’s understandable decision to prioritise his health and
wishes him a speedy and full recovery.
Geoff Drabble, Chair, will work with the management team to ensure the
stability of the business and that it remains focused on progressing the
actions that are already underway to improve performance, enhance
profitability and create sustainable value for shareholders. The
Nominations Committee will immediately commence a search for a successor
CEO.
Geoff Drabble said: “The Board and I are very sorry that Pete’s brief but
promising tenure as CEO has been brought to a premature conclusion for
reasons beyond his and our control, and which none of us had anticipated.
On a personal level, and on behalf of the Board, I would like to thank
Pete for his valuable contribution kickstarting the Group’s efforts to
refocus on the customer experience and reenergise our field operations. He
leaves with our best wishes for the future. The Group has many inherent
strengths, benefiting from nationwide coverage with market leading
businesses and strong customer and supplier relationships. We have a great
business which has had its issues in recent times, but which I am
confident can build on its inherent strengths and deliver value for
investors and all of its other stakeholders.”
Travis Perkins will report its full year results on 18th March 2025.

Remuneration Disclosure (pursuant to S430(2B) Companies Act 2006):
Consistent with the Company's Directors’ Remuneration Policy approved by
shareholders in 2024 (the “Policy”), all payments to Pete Redfern cease on
cessation of employment, without any pay in lieu of notice. Provision or
accrual of benefits cease immediately on cessation of employment. Pete
Redfern’s unvested award granted on 16 September 2024 under the Company’s
Restricted Share Plan does not lapse because his employment has ceased due
to ill-health but subsists in accordance with the rules of the Plan.
Vesting of the award at the end of the three year vesting period is
subject to satisfaction of the applicable performance underpin. The number
of shares that vest will usually be reduced pro-rata to reflect the
proportion of the individual’s employment during the vesting period from
the grant date to the date of cessation of employment. A two year holding
period for any shares received on exercise of the award following vesting
applies. The Remuneration Committee may determine that Pete Redfern be
awarded a bonus for the 2024 performance year. As permitted under the
Policy the Remuneration Committee has determined, in the circumstances,
not to apply the post-employment shareholding guideline for Executive
Directors in relation to the shares in the Company which Pete Redfern
purchased on 11 November 2024.
