RECKITT BENCKISER GROUP PLC

2025 SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAMME

COMPLETION OF FIRST TRANCHE AND COMMENCEMENT OF SECOND TRANCHE

Reckitt Benckiser Group plc ("Reckitt" or the "Company") confirms the successful completion of the first tranche of £250m (the "First Tranche") of its 2025 £1 billion share buyback programme (the "Programme") announced on 24 July 2025.

Under the First Tranche, between 28 July 2025 and 21 October 2025, the Company has purchased 4,445,840 ordinary shares of 10p each (the "Ordinary Shares") at an average price of £56.23, and which have been cancelled.

Further to the announcement on 26 September 2025, the Company confirms that the second tranche of the Programme (the "Second Tranche") to return a further up to £250 million of capital to shareholders, will commence on 22 October 2025 and will end on or before 30 January 2026.  As previously announced, the purpose of the Second Tranche is to reduce the share capital of the Company. The Second Tranche will take place within the limitations of the authority granted to the Board by shareholders at the Company's Annual General Meeting on 8 May 2025. Pursuant to that authority, the maximum number of shares which remain available for purchase under the Second Tranche is 63,954,160.

As previously announced, Reckitt has entered into an agreement with BNP Paribas under which it has instructed BNP Paribas to manage the Second Tranche of the Programme.  BNP Paribas will, acting as riskless principal, purchase Ordinary Shares for an aggregate purchase price of no greater than £250 million and will simultaneously sell such Ordinary Shares on to the Company. To the extent permitted by law, Ordinary Shares purchased under the Second Tranche of the Programme will be held in treasury until completion of the Second Tranche, at which time they will be cancelled.

This announcement does not constitute, or form part of, an offer or any solicitation of an offer for securities in any jurisdiction.
