                             Directors' Interests


Conditional awards of ordinary shares in Kingfisher plc were made to executive
directors on 6th April 2005.  These awards, made under the Kingfisher Incentive
Scheme (the 'Scheme'), were granted at a price of £2.8692 per share and become
exercisable, subject to the rules of the plan, for a period of, generally, 6
months commencing on 6th April 2008, provided the director has not resigned
voluntarily or been dismissed for cause.

The awards were as follows:                   Shares

Gerry Murphy                                  116,822
Ian Cheshire                                  39,685
Duncan Tatton-Brown                           44,913

In addition, in accordance with the rules of the Scheme, the conditional awards
to the above-named directors may increase as shown below on a straight line
basis, depending on the total shareholder return ('TSR') performance of
Kingfisher measured against the FTSE 100 over the 3 financial years to end
January 2008.  At below median TSR performance none of these additional shares
will vest:

Gerry Murphy  -                    between 11,682 and 46,728 shares
Ian Cheshire    -                  between 3,968 and 15,874 shares
Duncan Tatton Brown  -             between 4,491 and 17,965 shares

In accordance with the terms of his recruitment, a further conditional award of
up to 301,476 potential matching shares was made to Gerry Murphy. Providing he
has not voluntarily resigned or been dismissed for cause these shares will
normally vest in April 2008 without payment, depending on the TSR performance of
Kingfisher measured against the FTSE 100 over the 3 year period.  At median TSR
performance 100,492 shares will vest with 301,476 vesting at upper quartile TSR
performance.  At below median TSR performance no potential matching shares will
vest.  These shares were awarded at a price of £2.8692 and represent up to 3
times the number of additional qualifying shares in Kingfisher already owned by
him.

All of the awards are granted as nominal cost options with an exercise price of
£1 per award.

Further details on these conditional awards are included in Kingfisher's 2005
Annual Report, which will be mailed to shareholders in late April.

The interest of each of the directors in options over the ordinary shares of
Kingfisher plc, following the grant of these awards, is:

Total Number of Shares over which Options are held

Gerry Murphy - 3,067,675
Ian Cheshire - 884,275
DuncanTatton-Brown - 315,481


 *This figure assumes maximum TSR performance is achieved.  The company was
notified by the directors on 5th April.
