It is also anticipated that on August 1, 2024 Ferguson plc’s ordinary shares will cease trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and the Company’s common stock will commence trading on the NYSE.

The Company’s common stock will trade on the NYSE and the LSE under the symbol “FERG”, the same symbol that has attached to Ferguson plc’s ordinary shares.
