On August 1, 2024, Ferguson plc implemented the new corporate
structure by completing the merger (the “Merger”) of Ferguson (Jersey) 2 Limited
(“Merger Sub”), a newly formed Jersey
incorporated private limited company and direct, wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, with and into Ferguson plc, with

Ferguson plc.
Pursuant to the Merger, at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time / 5:01 a.m.
UK time on August 1, 2024, Ferguson plc shareholders received one
share of common stock in the Company in place of each Ferguson plc
ordinary share held by them at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time / 11:00 p.m.
UK time on July 31, 2024.
In connection with the Merger, with effect from 3:00 a.m.
Eastern Time / 8:00 a.m. UK time today: (i) the listing of all
201,343,253 existing Ferguson plc ordinary shares on the equity
shares (international commercial companies secondary listing)
category of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority
(“FCA”) was cancelled and those
existing Ferguson plc ordinary shares ceased to be admitted to
trading on the London Stock Exchange plc’s (“LSE”) main market for listed securities; and (ii)
201,343,253 shares of common stock of the Company were admitted to
the equity shares (international commercial companies secondary
listing) category of the Official List of the FCA and to trading on
the LSE’s main market for listed securities. It is also anticipated
that on August 1, 2024 Ferguson plc’s ordinary shares will cease
trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the Company’s common stock will
commence trading on the NYSE.
The Company’s common stock will trade on the NYSE and the LSE
under the symbol “FERG”, the same symbol that has attached to
Ferguson plc’s ordinary shares.
