Important: tax information
Colleagues who join ShareSave will need to pay income tax and social security contributions on the value of the ShareSave discount. This is the amount between the fixed discounted Option price of the shares they can buy at the end of ShareSave, and the market value of the Options when they are formally given to them on the grant date. You may need to pay this tax at the start of ShareSave and it may be taken from your pay in November 2024. Find out more on the FAQs page.

ShareSave works around you
ShareSave is flexible. You can take a savings break of up to 12 months if you need to, or choose to take your all your savings back at any time.
Your shares are discounted
If you choose to buy shares with your savings, you won't pay the market price for them. Instead, you'll get them at the discounted Option price, which is set before you start saving. This is a 20% discount on the market price of Kingfisher shares at the start of ShareSave — so you can benefit from any potential increase in our share price, too!
Own a share in any future sucess
Owning shares in Kingfisher means owning a part in our future success. If our share price increases over time, the value of your shares will, too! But remember that share prices can fall as well as rise.
Enjoy the perks of being a shareholder
As soon as you buy a Kingfisher share, you're a Kingfisher shareholder — and this means enjoying some great benefits!
- If you keep your shares, you'll get a share of our profits — known as dividends — whenever we pay these to our shareholders.
- You can also have your say on important company matters, such as company policy and key decisions as to how it's governed, by voting at our General Meetings.

Remember
You can sell your shares at any time. If you sell them for more than you paid for them, you'll make a profit!
