Managing Your Shares Online
Shareholders can view their Ferguson Enterprises Inc. shareholding details online by registering with Investor Center, a service offered by our transfer agent, Computershare.
To access the service, go to www-us.computershare.com/Investor/#Home and complete the simple on-screen registration process. You will be required to enter ‘Ferguson Enterprises Inc.’ under the Company name and enter your personal Holder Account Number which you will have received in a letter together with your DRS Statement from Computershare US. Please note, as part of the registration process, Computershare will need to send you a security verification code and this will be sent to your registered postal address. Therefore, you should register for Investor Center at your earliest convenience and in advance of any share sales or account changes being required.

Direct Registration Transaction Request Form
Share Transfers (to a Broker)
If you hold your shares through DRS then your shares are tradeable on the New York Stock Exchange. It is possible to move your shares so that they are tradeable on the London Stock Exchange. However, this will involve transferring your shares to a UK broker who will then hold these shares as nominee.
For further information, please contact your broker and advise that you are holding your Ferguson shares in DRS form on a US maintained register so as to allow them to assist with the required service. For further information you may also contact Computershare US by emailing web.queries@computershare.com.
Share Transfers (Other Than Broker Transfers)
To transfer your shares (other than to a broker) you will need to complete and return the appropriate transfer request form (available from Computershare US).
Please note, in order to transfer your shares, a medallion signature guarantee may be required. Please see below for further information regarding medallion signature guarantees.
Medallion Signature Guarantees
A Medallion Signature Guarantee (MSG) is a special certification stamp that guarantees the authentication of a signature. The stamp guarantees that the person signing has the legal authority and capacity to act on behalf of the account.
A shareholder can obtain a MSG as follows:
For investors located within the US and Canada: Shareholders are advised to contact their own financial institution (bank, credit union, or broker dealer) to determine if that institution is a participant in a Medallion Signature Guarantee Program.
For investors located outside of the US and Canada: US Banks or US Brokers with branches in other countries may be able to provide a MSG.
US Tax Certification Forms
Shareholders who intend to sell shares through the services with Computershare US, or another US broker, may be required to complete and submit a tax certification form, known as a W-8BEN (for non-US residents) or W9 (for US residents) (collectively, “US Tax Certification Form”), regardless as to whether they are a US resident or individual. Shareholders that do not complete and submit a valid US Tax Certification Form may be subject to US withholding tax deductions at the current rate of 24% on their share dealing proceeds. Please note, a completed W-8BEN form is valid for up to three years. Following this three year period, an updated W-8BEN form will need to be submitted to Computershare US.
Where applicable, shareholders will need to certify their tax status which can be done directly with Computershare by logging into the Investor Center portal (www-us.computershare.com/Investor/#Home). Alternatively, they can access the US Tax Certification Form by visiting the IRS website. Please note, even if shareholders are not required to submit a US Tax Certification Form at this time, they can, should they choose to do so, still provide the relevant details to Computershare US in advance in readiness of any future transaction.
Stock Exchange Listings
The common stock of the Company is listed on both the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:FERG) and the London Stock Exchange (LSE:FERG).
As stated above, shares held through DRS are tradeable on the New York Stock Exchange.

Historic Information
Important Information Relating to The Additional Listing of Ferguson plc’s Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (“the Additional Listing”)
Following the Additional Listing of Ferguson plc on March 8, 2021, its share register moved from Computershare Jersey to Computershare US. Shares that were previously held in certificated form transitioned to be held on the US maintained share register through the Direct Registration System (DRS). All existing share certificates became invalid and shareholders instead received a DRS Advice statement. Unless shares were held with a UK broker, shares were tradeable on the New York Stock Exchange. For further information please click here to view our frequently asked questions.
When the New York Stock Exchange became Ferguson plc’s primary listing venue in May 2022, there was no further impact as to how shares were managed.
