Voting rights and capital
In accordance with the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules, Ocado Group plc ("Ocado") announces that, as at
30 April 2020:
-- it had 713,868,948 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 713,868,948. Of these issued ordinary shares:
-- 1,780,997 shares 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;
-- 800,675 shares are held by Wealth Nominees Limited, and
9,941,158 shares are held by Numis Nominees (Client) Ltd, both 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 9,941,158
ordinary shares, although it may vote in respect of 800,675
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 10,741,833 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 10,741,833 ordinary shares held by the EBT
Trustee.
The total voting rights figure 713,868,948 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 10,741,833 ordinary shares held by Wealth Nominees
Limited are treated as treasury shares in the group's consolidated
balance sheet. Excluding the 10,741,833 ordinary shares held by
Wealth Nominees Limited as detailed above, Ocado has shares in
issue with aggregate voting rights of 703,127,115.
