Voting rights and capital
In accordance with the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules, Ocado Group plc ("Ocado") announces that, as at
31 July 2017:
-- it had 630,131,323 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 630,131,323. Of these issued ordinary shares:
-- 1,914,114 are held by Yorkshire Building Society, 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;
-- 32,811,272 are held by Wealth Nominees Limited on behalf of
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 32,732,240 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
32,811,272 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
32,811,272 ordinary shares held by the EBT Trustee.
The total voting rights figure 630,131,323 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 32,811,272 ordinary shares held by Wealth Nominees
Limited are treated as treasury shares in the group's consolidated
balance sheet. Excluding the 32,811,272 ordinary shares held by
Wealth Nominees Limited as detailed above, Ocado has shares in
issue with aggregate voting rights of 597,320,051.
