NOTES

   *    Includes discretionary votes 

** A vote withheld is not a vote in law and, therefore cannot be counted in the calculation of the proportion of

votes for and against a resolution.

As at 6.00pm on Friday 9 June 2017, the time by which shareholders who wanted to attend, speak and vote at the AGM must have been entered on the Company's register of members, the number of issued shares of the Company was 2,210,531,432 shares of 15 5/7 pence each.

The full text of each of the resolutions is set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting which is available on the Kingfisher website at www.kingfisher.com/agm. A copy of the poll results for the Annual General Meeting will shortly be available on the Kingfisher website, also at www.kingfisher.com/agm.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions passed, other than those considered ordinary business, will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at http://www.hemscott.com/nsm.do.
