Notifications of transactions by Persons Discharging Managerial

Responsibilities ('PDMRs')

The Company announces that on 30 March 2026 (the 'Grant Date') the following awards in respect of ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the Company ('Shares') were made by way of nil cost option under the Wickes Deferred Annual Bonus Plan (the 'DABP') and the Wickes Long Term Incentive Plan (the 'LTIP') to PDMRs as set out below.  Further details can be found in the Directors' Remuneration Report contained in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended 27 December 2025.

The number of shares subject to the options awarded has been calculated using a share price of 205.00 pence, being the average of the closing market prices of the Company's Shares on the five dealing days immediately preceding the Grant Date.

Award	PDMR	Number of Shares under option	Option Price
DABP	David Wood	121,123	nil
DABP	Mark George	60,240	nil
LTIP	David Wood	585,592	nil
LTIP	Mark George	314,855	nil

The options under the DABP will vest on 30 March 2029.

The options under the LTIP will vest on 30 March 2029 subject to the achievement of performance conditions.  Vested options will be subject to a two year holding period.

If options vest they will normally be exercisable until the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.

In the event that dividends are paid in the period between the Grant Date and the normal vesting date (or, where Shares under an option are subject to a holding period, the earlier of the date of expiry of the holding period or the date of exercise of the option), the number of shares awarded will be increased to reflect the dividends that would have accrued had they been reinvested in shares.

This Notification is made in accordance with the requirements of the UK Market Abuse Regulation. The Notification of Dealing Forms for each PDMR can be found below.
