Notes:
(i) Votes 'withheld' are not votes under English law and so have
not been included in the calculation of whether a resolution is
carried. Percentages have been rounded to two decimal places.
(ii) As at 7.00am on 3 May 2017, the Company's issued share
capital was 629,719,608 ordinary shares of 2p each admitted to
trading. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury.
Each ordinary share carries the right to one vote in relation to
all circumstances at general meetings of the Company. Of these
issued ordinary shares: (1) 1,914,114 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; (2) 32,811,272 shares 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 these
32,811,272 ordinary shares, although it may vote in respect of
32,732,240 ordinary shares which have vested under the joint share
ownership scheme and remain in the trust as at 3 May 2017, at the
request of a participant.
