Dunelm has today been notified that the Leicester Foundation, a private charitable trust (the "Charitable Trust") of which Will Adderley, Executive Deputy Chairman, is a trustee, today disposed of 92,000 ordinary shares of 1 pence each (the "Shares") of the Company to The Paddocks Trust (the "Family Trust"), a family trust of which Will Adderley is also a trustee. The price paid by the Family Trust was the mid market price at the time of the transaction, 463.95 pence per share. Following the transaction, the Charitable Trust holds 167,250 ordinary shares of the Company (0.83 % of the issued share capital) and the Family Trust holds 172,750 ordinary shares of the Company (0.86 % of the issued share capital).

In light of his status as a trustee of both the Charitable Trust and the Family Trust, Will Adderley is deemed to retain a legal interest in the Shares, as an indirect holding.
