    Results of Court Meeting, EGM and Preference Shareholder Class Meeting     

Reckitt Benckiser plc (the "Company") announces that at the meeting convened by
the Court and held earlier today (the "Court Meeting") and at the subsequent
Extraordinary General Meeting (the "EGM") to approve the scheme of arrangement
and other related matters whereby shares in the Company will be swapped for an
equivalent number of shares in Reckitt Benckiser Group plc, a new holding
company, all resolutions received the necessary majorities and were accordingly
approved. Shareholders at the EGM also approved resolutions to cancel the
Company's share premium account and capital redemption reserve and approved the
operation of new share schemes by Reckitt Benckiser Group plc, the principal
terms of which are summarised in the circular to shareholders dated 11
September 2007 (the "Circular").

Shareholders at the EGM and at the subsequent separate class meeting of the
Company's preference shareholders (the "Preference Shareholder Class Meeting")
also approved resolutions implementing the cancellation and repayment of the
Company's preference shares.
