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 6.00pm on 23 May 2012, the Company's issued share capital was 558,739,274 ordinary shares of 2p each. Of these issued ordinary shares, 36,305,099 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 36,305,099 ordinary shares, although it may vote in respect of 15,914,000 ordinary shares which have vested under the joint share ownership scheme and remain in the trust, at the request of a participant. Excluding the 36,305,099 ordinary shares held by the EBT Trustee, Ocado has shares in issue with aggregate voting rights of 522,434,175.

(iii)        This announcement is made pursuant to the requirements of Listing Rules 9.6.2 and 9.6.18. In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, a copy of resolutions 16 to 20 (as set out in the notice of Annual General Meeting), being the resolutions passed at the Annual General Meeting not concerning ordinary business, has been submitted today to the Financial Services Authority's national storage mechanism.
