Voting rights and capital
In accordance with the FCA's Disclosure Rules and Transparency
Rules, Ocado Group plc ("Ocado") announces that, as at 31 December
2014:
-- it had 620,971,183 issued ordinary shares of 2p 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 620,971,183. Of these issued ordinary shares:
o 452,284 are held by Greenwood Nominees Limited, who has waived
its right to exercise voting rights and to receive dividends in
respect of these 452,284 ordinary shares; and
o 35,227,029 are held by Greenwood Nominees Limited on behalf of
Appleby 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 these 35,227,029 ordinary
shares, although it may vote in respect of 31,736,563 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
35,227,029 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
35,227,029 ordinary shares held by the EBT Trustee.
The total voting rights figure 620,971,183 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 Rules and
Transparency Rules.
In aggregate 35,679,313 ordinary shares held by Greenwood
Nominees Limited are treated as treasury shares in the group's
consolidated balance sheet. Excluding the 35,679,313 ordinary
shares held by Greenwood Nominees Limited as mentioned above, Ocado
has shares in issue with aggregate voting rights of
585,291,870.
