                    Court Sanction of Scheme of Arrangement                    

Reckitt Benckiser plc (the "Company") announces that earlier today the Court
sanctioned the Scheme to establish Reckitt Benckiser Group plc as the holding
company of Reckitt Benckiser plc and confirmed the reduction of capital
involved therein. Under the Scheme, Reckitt Benckiser Ordinary Shareholders are
entitled to one Reckitt Benckiser Group Ordinary Share for each Reckitt
Benckiser Ordinary Share held at the Scheme Record Time.

The Court also confirmed the reduction of capital involved in respect of the
cancellation of the Company's preference shares, share premium account and
capital redemption reserve.

The Scheme will become effective upon an office copy of the Court Order
sanctioning the Scheme being registered by the Registrar of Companies in
England and Wales which is expected to be on 23 October 2007. The reductions of
capital of the Company's preference shares, share premium account and capital
redemption reserve will become effective upon an office copy of the Court Order
confirming the reductions of capital being registered with the Registrar of
Companies in England and Wales, which is also expected to be on 23 October
2007.

A further announcement will be made when the Scheme and the reductions of
capital have become effective.

Dealings in Reckitt Benckiser Group Ordinary Shares are expected to commence at
8.00 a.m. on 23 October 2007 at which time the listing of existing Reckitt
Benckiser Ordinary Shares will be cancelled.

Capitalised terms in this announcement have the same meaning in the Prospectus
published by Reckitt Benckiser Group plc on 11 September 2007.
