Ocado Group plc (the "Company")
Director/PDMR Notification

Following the approval of the Company's 2019 Value Creation Plan (the "VCP") by the Company's shareholders at the 2019 Annual General Meeting (the "2019 AGM"), the Company hereby announces a further grant of "Participation Rights" under the VCP.

"Participation Rights" under the VCP entitle the participant to receive, subject to the rules of the VCP, a proportion (the "Participant Percentage") of the Company's total shareholder return above a threshold annual compound growth rate of 10%.

This value can either be delivered through (i) the grant of nil-cost options over ordinary shares in the Company ("Shares") following the announcement of the Company's annual results for the 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 financial years or (ii) the participant's acquisition of Shares (at the time the related "Participation Right" is granted) which are held jointly with the Company's employee benefit trust (the "EBT") in accordance with the rules of the VCP and which will vest on the same timetable as nil-cost option awards.   

Stephen Daintith shall receive his Participant Percentage in the form of a nil cost option. He has no rights in respect of the Plan relating to the 2019 and 2020 Financial Years. The details of the grant are set out below.
