For your information, CREF is a U.S. based investment company, which is registered with the

separate investment objectives and policies. All assets in the accounts are beneficially owned by
CREF, and all the accounts are managed by TIAA-CREF Investment Management, LLC ("TCIM"), an SEC

Additionally, on November 1, 2018 funds managed by an affiliate of CREF bought 325,212 shares of
Travis Perkins Plc. This brings the total ownership of these affiliated funds to 8,366,873 voting

In addition, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC ("NAM"), is an SEC registered investment adviser that is
affiliated with TCIM and TAL, on November 1, 2018, NAM did not buy or sell any shares of Travis
Perkins Plc and so its share ownership remains at 1,011 voting shares or 0.000% of Travis Perkins
