Change of Auditor

 

J Sainsbury plc (the 'Company') today announces that it has completed a formal
tender process, overseen by its Audit Committee, for its Group audit which has
carefully evaluated the offering of each participant. This has resulted in a
recommendation from the Audit Committee, which has been endorsed by the Board,
that a resolution be put to shareholders for approval at the 2025 Annual
General Meeting ('AGM'), appointing PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Group's
auditor for the year ending 28 February 2026.

 

Ernst & Young LLP, who have been the Company's auditor since July 2015,
will continue in the role until that time, and will therefore undertake the
Group audit for the years ending 2 March 2024 and 1 March 2025.
