Exhibit 99.1
April 13, 2022
FERGUSON PLC
Share buy back program
Ferguson plc (the "Company") announces that, in continuation of its $2 billion share repurchase program (the "Program"), it has entered into an irrevocable and non-discretionary arrangement with its broker Barclays Capital Securities Limited and Barclays Capital Inc. (together, "Barclays") to buy back up to £450 million of its shares commencing from April 13, 2022 and ending no later than June 23, 2022. Under this arrangement, Barclays, an independent third party, will act as principal and will make decisions under the program independently from the Company.
The Company's shareholders generally authorized the Company to purchase up to a maximum of 22,186,462 of its ordinary shares at its Annual General Meeting held on December 2, 2021. Pursuant to such authority, the Company intends to continue purchasing shares under the Program. The Company anticipates that it will request a similar general authority from shareholders at its Annual General Meeting expected to be held in November/December 2022 pursuant to which (to the extent the Program has not been completed by then) purchases of shares under the Program will continue. The aggregate number of shares acquired by the Company pursuant to the Program shall not exceed the maximum number of shares which the Company is authorized to purchase pursuant to such general authorities. It is intended that any shares repurchased under the Program will be transferred into treasury.
The purpose of the Program is to reduce the capital of the Company. To the extent required, the Company may in future use the repurchased shares to satisfy employee share awards. Any purchases of shares by the Company in relation to this tranche of the Program will be carried out on the London Stock Exchange and/or the New York Stock Exchange (in accordance with the terms of the arrangement entered into with Barclays) and in accordance with (and subject to the limits prescribed by) the Company's general authority to repurchase shares granted by its shareholders, the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 (as it forms part of UK law pursuant to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018), Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and (to the extent applicable) Chapter 12 of the UK Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules.
