30 July 2025

Grainger plc ("Grainger" or the "Company")

Publication of a Circular and Notice of General Meeting

We have today published a Circular containing a Notice of a General Meeting scheduled to take place on 1 September 2025. Shareholders are being asked to vote on a resolution to amend our articles of association ("Articles") ahead of our entry into the Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") regime. We are proposing to make certain amendments to our Articles which are recommended to support our conversion to a REIT and also to make updates more generally as the Articles have not been updated since they were adopted in 2010.

Copies of the following documents have been published and dispatched to shareholders and are also available to view on our website corporate.graingerplc.co.uk:

- Circular (containing the Notice of General Meeting)

- Proxy Card

- Letter to shareholders regarding the meeting arrangements

- Proposed new Articles of Association

The Notice of General Meeting includes details of how shareholders can vote, including information about electronic voting. The Circular (containing the Notice of General Meeting), proxy card, shareholder letter and the proposed new Articles of Association will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism ("NSM") and will shortly be available for inspection at:  data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism. 

The contents of the NSM and any websites accessible from hyperlinks on the NSM are not incorporated into and do not form part of this announcement.

The person responsible for making this announcement on behalf of the Company is Sapna Bedi FitzGerald, Company Secretary.
