BOARD AND COMMITTEE CHANGES

Reckitt Benckiser Group plc ("RB") today announces the following changes to its Board and Committee membership.

Having served on the Board since October 2008 and having led the succession process for the new Chairman in 2017, André Lacroix, Senior Independent Director, Chair of the Audit Committee and member of the Nomination Committee, has decided to step down from the Board and will retire as a Director on 31 December 2018.

Effective 1 January 2019 Nicandro Durante is appointed as Senior Independent Director and Andrew Bonfield is appointed as Chair of the Audit Committee.  Each of them will also join the Nomination Committee from that date.

Chris Sinclair, RB Chairman, said "Andre has been a great contributor to the Board over a period of many years, over which RB has seen tremendous growth and success. As SID, he led the succession process for a new Chairman last year. As a member and more recently Chairman of the Audit Committee he brought a rigorous and disciplined approach to risk management and assurance. On behalf of the Board, I would like to offer him enormous thanks."
