Carpetright plc ("Carpetright" or "the Company")

Rule 2.10 Announcement

In accordance with Rule 2.10 of the Takeover Code, Carpetright advises that, 
following the exercise of savings-related share options, its issued share 
capital as at 29 November has increased by 1,232 shares to 67,967,556 ordinary 
shares of 1p each.

All of the ordinary shares have equal voting rights, and no ordinary shares 
are held in Treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is 
therefore 67,967,556.

This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the 
calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their 
interest in, or a change to their interest in, voting rights attaching to the 
share capital of the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

The ISIN number for these securities is GB0001772945.

Dealing Disclosure Requirements

Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code (the "Code"), if any
person is, or becomes, "interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1 per cent. or
more of any class of "relevant securities" of Carpetright, all "dealings" in any
"relevant securities" of the Company (including by means of an option in respect
of, or a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must be
publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the London
business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement
will continue until the date on which the offer becomes, or is declared,
unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which
the "offer period" otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together pursuant
to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an
"interest" in "relevant securities" of Carpetright, they will be deemed to be a
single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant
securities" of Carpetright by the offeror or Carpetright, or by any of their
respective "associates", must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London
time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction.

A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose "relevant
securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in
issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel's website at
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.

"Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of
securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an "interest" by
virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in
respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.

Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the
Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required
to disclose a "dealing" under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel.
