The following summary is intended as a general guide only and does not address the position of certain classes of shareholders to whom special rules apply. It is also not exhaustive and shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisors as to taxation consequences of the dividend income. The summary is based on our interpretation of Irish and UK tax legislation in force as at 9 September 2010. Shareholders should be aware that future legislative, administrative and/or judicial changes could affect the taxation summary described below.

No withholding taxes apply in the UK on payment of the dividend.

Irish tax resident individuals are subject to Irish income tax on the euro amount of any dividend received (or, if paid in sterling, its euro equivalent which is calculated, generally, by applying the average £:€ exchange rate, as published by the Irish Revenue, for the calendar year of receipt) at their marginal rate of income tax, either the standard rate of 20% or the higher rate of 41%. Irish tax resident individuals, may, depending on their circumstances, also be subject to Irish PRSI, income levy and health levy in respect of their dividend income.

Irish tax resident corporations are subject to Irish corporation tax at a rate of 12.5% on the basis that the dividends are derived from trading profits. Otherwise the rate is 25%.

UK tax resident individuals will be subject to income tax in respect of the dividend income together with a notional tax credit of 1/9th. Taking account of this notional tax credit, an individual liable to the basic UK income tax rate of 10% should have no further UK income tax liability.

Due to the notional credit, a higher rate taxpaying individual who is liable to income tax at 32.5% should have an effective tax rate of 25% on the dividend paid.

An individual with annual income in excess of £150,000 is liable to income tax at 42.5% and due to the notional credit should have an effective tax rate of 36.11% on the dividend paid.

UK tax resident corporations will be exempt from UK corporation tax in respect of the dividend income.

An interim dividend of 2.5 cent per Grafton Unit was paid by Grafton Group plc in respect of Grafton Units on 31 March 2010. The relevant record date for this payment was 12 March 2010. Dividend Withholding Tax ('DWT') applies to dividends paid by way of cash and is deducted at the standard rate of income tax on the gross payment with a credit for DWT. Overseas shareholders should be subject to the tax treatment applicable under the tax legislation in their jurisdiction. Institutional Investors who are fully exempt from tax should have no tax liability on the payment.

2009 'A' Share Purchase Payments

The Group has in the past, in accordance with shareholder approval, used part of its distributable reserves to purchase 'A' ordinary shares for cash, from shareholders on the register at a given record date. Up to 4 February 2010, the payment to Irish shareholders should generally have been treated as a capital transaction and should therefore have been subject to the Irish capital gains tax at the rate prevailing at the time of the purchase of 'A' ordinary shares. Purchases of 'A' ordinary shares after 4 February 2010 are generally treated as a distribution and subject to DWT, and Irish shareholders are taxed at the marginal rate of income tax on the gross payment with a credit for DWT. Overseas shareholders should be subject to the tax treatment applicable under the tax legislation in their jurisdiction. Institutional investors who are fully exempt from tax should have no tax liability on the payment.
