Outcome of Audit Tender Process

 

Ocado Group plc ("Ocado" or the "Company") today announces that, following the
conclusion of a formal competitive audit tender process led by the Audit
Committee, the Board has approved the re-appointment of Deloitte LLP
("Deloitte") as its external auditor to take effect from, and including, the
financial year ending 28 November 2027 onwards.

 

In line with the UK Statutory Audit Services for Large Companies Market
Investigation (Mandatory Use of Competitive Tender Processes and Audit
Committee Responsibilities) Order 2014, the Company is required to tender the
statutory audit every 10 years and rotate every 20 years. The Company
initially appointed Deloitte as the statutory auditor with effect from the
2017 financial year.

 

The Board of Directors would like to thank Deloitte for their continued
service as the Company's auditor and acknowledge the time and commitment of
the other firms that participated in the tender process.

 

Further details of the audit tender process will be included in the 2025
Annual Report and Accounts. This appointment is subject to shareholder
approval at the Company's 2027 Annual General Meeting.
