¹Total Shares in Issue less Treasury Shares

Shares held in Treasury have no voting or dividend rights and are used solely for the satisfaction of employee share awards.

Shares held by the Howden Joinery Group Plc Employee Benefit Trust abstain from voting at the Company’s general meetings and waive dividends. Shares held in the Share Incentive Plan Trust, which have been allocated to employees through UK all-employee shares plans, have both voting and dividend rights.
