TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS

OCADO GROUP PLC

1 December 2021

 

Ocado Group plc

Voting rights and capital

 

In accordance with the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, Ocado
Group plc ("Ocado") announces that, as at 30 November 2021:

 

·    it had 751,486,628 issued ordinary shares of 2 pence each admitted
to trading. Each ordinary share carries the right to one vote in relation to
all circumstances at general meetings of Ocado;

 

·      it does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury; and

 

·      accordingly, it had total voting rights of 751,486,628. Of these
issued ordinary shares:

 

o  1,484,606 shares are held by Solium Trustee (UK) Limited, the trustee for
the Company's employee Share Incentive Plan, who must vote, at the request of
a participant, in respect of ordinary shares held by the trustee on behalf of
that participant;

 

o  564,988 shares are held by Wealth Nominees Limited, and 9,889,160 shares
are held by Numis Nominees (Client) Ltd, both on behalf of Ocorian Limited
(formerly known as Estera Trust (Jersey) Limited), the independent company
which is the trustee of Ocado's Employee Benefit Trust (the "EBT Trustee").
The EBT Trustee has waived its right to exercise its voting rights and to
receive dividends in respect of 9,889,160 ordinary shares, although it may
vote in respect of 564,988 ordinary shares which have vested under the joint
share ownership scheme and remain in the trust, at the request of a
participant. The total of 10,454,148 ordinary shares held by the EBT Trustee
are treated as treasury shares in the group's consolidated balance sheet in
accordance with IAS 32 ''Financial Instruments: Presentation''. As such,
calculations of earnings per share for Ocado exclude the 10,454,148 ordinary
shares held by the EBT Trustee.

 

The total voting rights figure 751,486,628 may be used by shareholders and
others with notification obligations as the denominator for the calculations
by which they will determine whether they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in, Ocado under the FCA's
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

 

Excluding the 10,454,148 ordinary shares held by Wealth Nominees Limited as
detailed above, Ocado has shares in issue with aggregate voting rights of
741,032,480.
