These options have been granted under the Wolseley Share Option Plan 2003 which
was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 21 November
2003 and which requires the satisfaction of corporate performance criteria
before the options become capable of exercise. The options have been granted
without the benefit of any retesting and will, therefore, lapse if the
performance criteria have not been met upon maturity of the awards in November
2010.
