Demerger Update: Publication of Supplementary Circular and Supplementary Prospectus 
 
Following the publication of the Travis Perkins Q1 trading update earlier today, the Group announces that a 
supplementary circular relating to the demerger of the Wickes business from the Group (the "Demerger") (the 
"Supplementary Circular") has been published today and will shortly be posted to Travis Perkins' Shareholders with a 
supplementary prospectus in relation to the listing of shares in Wickes Group plc ("Wickes") (the "Supplementary 
Prospectus") also made available following approval by the FCA. 
 
In accordance with the requirement set out in the Prospectus Rules, the Supplementary Prospectus has been published 
following the announcement of Travis Perkins' trading update for the first quarter of 2021 which, having been published 
prior to the completion of the Demerger, incorporates a trading update in respect of Wickes for the same period. 
 
The Supplementary Circular and Supplementary Prospectus are supplementary to and must be read in conjunction with the 
Circular and Prospectus dated 24 March 2021, previously sent to Shareholders and available on Travis Perkins' website 
(www.travisperkinsplc.co.uk/investors). 
 
The Supplementary Prospectus and Supplementary Circular are now available for inspection at www.travisperkinsplc.co.uk/ 
investors and the Supplementary Prospectus is also available on Wickes' website at https://www.wickesplc.co.uk/ 
demerger_details/. 
 
A general meeting of Travis Perkins will be held at Ryehill House, Rye Hill Close, Lodge farm Industrial Estate, 
Northampton NN5 7UA at 10.45 am on 27 April 2021, or, if later, at the time which is immediately after the Company's 
2021 annual general meeting convened for the same place and day shall have been concluded or adjourned (the "General 
Meeting"). 
 
Following the guidance related to physical meeting due to the COVID-19 pandemic and being guided by the overarching 
consideration of the safety and wellbeing of all participants, regrettably, shareholders will be unable to attend in 
person. Shareholders will be able to attend the General Meeting via the live webcast, which will be broadcast from the 
Company's offices in Northampton.
