Posting of Tender Offer Circular and Report and Accounts

Posting of Tender Offer Circular

On 13 June 2017, the Company announced that it intends to return up to £25 million to Shareholders by way of a tender offer (and subsequent repurchase) of Ordinary Shares ("Tender Offer"). The Company announces that the Tender Offer is now open.

A circular setting out information on the details of the Tender Offer and the procedure that should be followed by Shareholders who wish to participate in the Tender Offer ("Tender Offer Circular") is expected to be posted to Shareholders today. The Tender Offer Circular will shortly be available on the Company's website at www.utilitywarehouse.co.uk/investors. A copy of the Tender Offer Circular will also be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for viewing at: http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.

The Tender Offer is being made available to all Shareholders who are on the Register at 5 p.m. (UK time) on 30 June 2017, other than Shareholders in a Restricted Jurisdiction. The price of the Tender Offer will be the lower of (i) £12.03 (being the closing price per Ordinary Share on 19 June 2017, the last practicable date prior to the date of the Tender Offer Circular) and (ii) the average market value of an Ordinary Share for the five business days prior to 3 July 2017 (being the date on which the Ordinary Shares are to be purchased).

The Tender Offer will be implemented on the basis of Peel Hunt acquiring, as principal, the successfully tendered Ordinary Shares at the Tender Offer price, on the basis that all Ordinary Shares that Peel Hunt acquires under the Tender Offer will be purchased from it by the Company under the Company's existing buyback authority and subsequently cancelled.

Any Ordinary Shares successfully tendered will be purchased on 3 July 2017 and will not receive the final dividend of 25.0 pence per Ordinary Share proposed on 13 June 2017 and payable to Shareholders on the Register at close of business on 7 July 2017.

Shareholders are not obliged to tender any of their Ordinary Shares if they do not wish to do so.

Each director of the Company that holds Ordinary Shares (representing, in aggregate, approximately 23.3 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 19 June 2017) has confirmed that they will not participate in the Tender Offer (other than Andrew Lindsay, who has reserved the right to tender up to a maximum of 70,000 Ordinary Shares).

Timetable

If Shareholders have questions on the Tender Offer, please contact the Shareholder Helpline on 0371 664 0321. The Shareholder Helpline is available from 9.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. (UK time) Monday to Friday (except UK public holidays).
