It may be difficult for United States holdersof Wincanton Shares to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of the United States federal laws, since Wincanton is located ina non-United States jurisdiction, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of a non-United States jurisdiction.United States holders of Wincanton Shares may not be able to sue a non-United States company or its officers or directors in a non-UnitedStates court for violations of the United States securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-United States company andits affiliates to subject themselves to a United States court’s judgement.

Unless otherwise determined by GXO or requiredby the Code and permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Acquisition will not be made available, directly or indirectly, in, intoor from a Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction and no person may vote, or procure the vote,in favour of the Scheme and the Acquisition by any such use, means, instrumentality or from within a Restricted Jurisdiction or any otherjurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of that jurisdiction. Accordingly, copies of this Announcement and alldocuments relating to the Acquisition are not being, and must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributedor sent in, into or from a Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction, and persons receiving thisAnnouncement and all documents relating to the Acquisition (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must observe these restrictionsand must not mail or otherwise distribute or send them in, into or from such jurisdictions where to do so would violate the laws in thatjurisdiction. If the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer (unless otherwise permitted by applicable law and regulation),the Takeover Offer may not be made directly or indirectly, in or into, or by the use of mails or any means or instrumentality (including,but not limited to, facsimile, e-mail or other electronic transmission, telex or telephone) of interstate or foreign commerce of, or ofany facility of a national, state or other securities exchange of any Restricted Jurisdiction and the Takeover Offer may not be capableof acceptance by any such use, means, instrumentality or facilities.

The availability of the Acquisition to WincantonShareholders who are not resident in the United Kingdom may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are resident.Persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable requirements. In particular,the ability of persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom to vote their Wincanton Shares with respect to the Scheme at the Meetings,or to appoint another person as proxy to vote at the Meetings on their behalf, may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictionsin which they are located.

The Acquisition will be subject to the applicablerequirements of the Code, the Panel, and the London Stock Exchange.

If GXO were to elect to implement the Acquisitionby means of a Takeover Offer and it was determined that Rule 14e-5 of the US Exchange Act applied to the Takeover Offer, then in accordancewith normal UK practice and pursuant to Rule 14e-5(b) of the US Exchange Act, GXO or its nominees, or its brokers (acting as agents),may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, Wincanton Shares outside the United States, other than pursuantto the GXO proposal, before or during the period in which the GXO proposal, if made, remains open for acceptance. Also, in such circumstances,in accordance with Rule 14e-5(b) of the US Exchange Act, Rothschild & Co, BofA Securities, HSBC, Deutsche Numis and UBS and theirrespective affiliates may continue to act as exempt principal traders in Wincanton securities on the London Stock Exchange.

Forward-looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts,but rather on current expectations and projections of the management of GXO and Wincanton about future events, and are therefore subjectto risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-lookingstatements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Announcement include statements relating to the expected effects of the Acquisitionon GXO and Wincanton, the expected timing and scope of the Acquisition and other statements other than historical facts. Often, but notalways, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “plans”, “expects”or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “is subject to”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”,or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved.Forward-looking statements may include statements relating to the following: (i) future capital expenditures, expenses, revenues, earnings,synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, dividend policy, losses and future prospects; (ii) business and managementstrategies and the expansion and growth of GXO's or the Wincanton Group's operations and potential synergies resulting from the Acquisition;and (iii) the effects of global economic conditions and government regulation on GXO's or the Wincanton Group's business. Although GXOand Wincanton believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, GXO and Wincanton can give noassurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty becausethey relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actualresults and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include,but are not limited to, the satisfaction of the Conditions and the risks discussed in GXO’s filings with the SEC, as well as additionalfactors, such as: economic conditions generally; supply chain challenges, including labour shortages; competition and pricing pressures;GXO and/or Wincanton’s ability to align GXO and/or Wincanton’s investments in capital assets, including equipment, servicecentres and warehouses, to their respective customers’ demands; GXO and/or Wincanton’s ability to successfully integrate andrealise anticipated benefits, synergies, cost savings and profit improvement opportunities with respect to acquired companies, includingthe Acquisition; acquisitions may be unsuccessful or result in other risks or developments that adversely affect GXO and/or Wincanton’sfinancial condition and results; GXO and/or Wincanton’s ability to develop and implement suitable information technology systemsand prevent failures in or breaches of such systems; GXO and/or Wincanton’s ability to raise debt and equity capital; litigation;labour matters, including GXO and/or Wincanton’s ability to manage its subcontractors, and risks associated with labour disputesat GXO and/or Wincanton’s customers and efforts by labour organizations to organize its employees; risks associated with definedbenefit plans for GXO and/or Wincanton’s current and former employees; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; fluctuations infixed and floating interest rates; fluctuations in customer confidence and spending; issues related to GXO and/or Wincanton’s intellectualproperty rights; governmental regulation, including trade compliance laws, as well as changes in international trade policies and taxregimes; natural disasters, terrorist attacks or similar incidents; a material disruption of GXO and/or Wincanton’s operations;the inability to achieve the level of revenue growth, cash generation, cost savings, improvement in profitability and margins, fiscaldiscipline, or strengthening of competitiveness and operations anticipated or targeted; the impact of potential cyber-attacks and informationtechnology or data security breaches; and the inability to implement technology initiatives or business systems successfully. Other unknownor unpredictable factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such forward-lookingstatements should therefore be construed in the light of such factors. Neither GXO nor Wincanton, nor any of their respective associatesor directors, officers or advisers, provides any representation, assurance or guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed orimplied in any forward-looking statements in this Announcement will actually occur. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on theseforward-looking statements. Other than in accordance with their legal or regulatory obligations (including under the UK Listing Rulesand the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the FCA), neither GXO or Wincanton is under any obligation, and GXO and Wincanton expresslydisclaim any intention or obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, futureevents or otherwise.

The Acquisition relates to shares of an Englishcompany and is proposed to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under the laws of England and Wales. Neither the US proxy solicitationrules nor the tender offer rules under the US Exchange Act apply to the Acquisition.

Wincanton’s financial statements, andall financial information that is included in this Announcement, or that may be included in the Scheme Document, have been prepared inaccordance with accounting standards applicable in the United Kingdom and may not be comparable to financial statements of companies inthe United States or other companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principlesin the United States.

It may be difficult for United States holdersof Wincanton Shares to enforce their rights and any claim arising out of the United States federal laws, since Wincanton is located ina non-United States jurisdiction, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of a non-United States jurisdiction.United States holders of Wincanton Shares may not be able to sue a non-United States company or its officers or directors in a non-UnitedStates court for violations of the United States securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-United States company andits affiliates to subject themselves to a United States court’s judgement.

Unless otherwise determined by GXO or requiredby the Code and permitted by applicable law and regulation, the Acquisition will not be made available, directly or indirectly, in, intoor from a Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction and no person may vote, or procure the vote,in favour of the Scheme and the Acquisition by any such use, means, instrumentality or from within a Restricted Jurisdiction or any otherjurisdiction if to do so would constitute a violation of the laws of that jurisdiction. Accordingly, copies of this Announcement and alldocuments relating to the Acquisition are not being, and must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise forwarded, distributedor sent in, into or from a Restricted Jurisdiction where to do so would violate the laws in that jurisdiction, and persons receiving thisAnnouncement and all documents relating to the Acquisition (including custodians, nominees and trustees) must observe these restrictionsand must not mail or otherwise distribute or send them in, into or from such jurisdictions where to do so would violate the laws in thatjurisdiction. If the Acquisition is implemented by way of a Takeover Offer (unless otherwise permitted by applicable law and regulation),the Takeover Offer may not be made directly or indirectly, in or into, or by the use of mails or any means or instrumentality (including,but not limited to, facsimile, e-mail or other electronic transmission, telex or telephone) of interstate or foreign commerce of, or ofany facility of a national, state or other securities exchange of any Restricted Jurisdiction and the Takeover Offer may not be capableof acceptance by any such use, means, instrumentality or facilities.

The availability of the Acquisition to WincantonShareholders who are not resident in the United Kingdom may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which they are resident.Persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom should inform themselves of, and observe, any applicable requirements. In particular,the ability of persons who are not resident in the United Kingdom to vote their Wincanton Shares with respect to the Scheme at the Meetings,or to appoint another person as proxy to vote at the Meetings on their behalf, may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictionsin which they are located.

The Acquisition will be subject to the applicablerequirements of the Code, the Panel, and the London Stock Exchange.

If GXO were to elect to implement the Acquisitionby means of a Takeover Offer and it was determined that Rule 14e-5 of the US Exchange Act applied to the Takeover Offer, then inaccordance with normal UK practice and pursuant to Rule 14e-5(b) of the US Exchange Act, GXO or its nominees, or its brokers(acting as agents), may from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, Wincanton Shares outside the UnitedStates, other than pursuant to the GXO proposal, before or during the period in which the GXO proposal, if made, remains open for acceptance.Also, in such circumstances, in accordance with Rule 14e-5(b) of the US Exchange Act, Rothschild & Co, BofA Securities,HSBC, Deutsche Numis and UBS and their respective affiliates may continue to act as exempt principal traders in Wincanton securities onthe London Stock Exchange.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Announcement include statements relating to the expected effects of the Acquisitionon GXO and Wincanton, the expected timing and scope of the Acquisition and other statements other than historical facts.

Although GXO and Wincanton believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, GXO andWincanton can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.

There are a number of factorsthat could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.These factors include, but are not limited to, the satisfaction of the Conditions and the risks discussed in GXO’s filings withthe SEC, as well as additional factors, such as: economic conditions generally; supply chain challenges, including labour shortages; competitionand pricing pressures; GXO and/or Wincanton’s ability to align GXO and/or Wincanton’s investments in capital assets, includingequipment, service centres and warehouses, to their respective customers’ demands; GXO and/or Wincanton’s ability to successfullyintegrate and realise anticipated benefits, synergies, cost savings and profit improvement opportunities with respect to acquired companies,including the Acquisition; acquisitions may be unsuccessful or result in other risks or developments that adversely affect GXO and/orWincanton’s financial condition and results; GXO and/or Wincanton’s ability to develop and implement suitable informationtechnology systems and prevent failures in or breaches of such systems; GXO and/or Wincanton’s ability to raise debt and equitycapital; litigation; labour matters, including GXO and/or Wincanton’s ability to manage its subcontractors, and risks associatedwith labour disputes at GXO and/or Wincanton’s customers and efforts by labour organizations to organize its employees; risks associatedwith defined benefit plans for GXO and/or Wincanton’s current and former employees; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; fluctuationsin fixed and floating interest rates; fluctuations in customer confidence and spending; issues related to GXO and/or Wincanton’sintellectual property rights; governmental regulation, including trade compliance laws, as well as changes in international trade policiesand tax regimes; natural disasters, terrorist attacks or similar incidents; a material disruption of GXO and/or Wincanton’s operations;the inability to achieve the level of revenue growth, cash generation, cost savings, improvement in profitability and margins, fiscaldiscipline, or strengthening of competitiveness and operations anticipated or targeted; the impact of potential cyber-attacks and informationtechnology or data security breaches; and the inability to implement technology initiatives or business systems successfully.
