Ocado Group plc

Proposed Bond Offering and Related Financing Transactions

Ocado Group plc ("Ocado") today announced the launch of an offering (the "Offering") of £300 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2030 (the "Notes"). The Notes will be issued by Ocado Group plc and guaranteed by certain of Ocado's subsidiaries.

The net proceeds from the Offering, together with cash from balance sheet to the extent needed, are intended to be used to fund the purchase, through the applicable invitations to tender that have been separately announced, of a portion of Ocado's outstanding 0.875% senior unsecured convertible bonds due 2025 and 3.875% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (together, the "Target Securities") pursuant to an invitation to tender Target Securities extended to the holders thereof who are non-US persons and located outside the United States. To the extent the net proceeds of the Offering exceed the amount required to purchase the Target Securities, Ocado expects to retain such funds to be used to reduce leverage over time, whether at maturity of the relevant debt or otherwise. These financing transactions are intended to extend the maturity profile of Ocado's debt.

There can be no assurance that the financing transactions will be completed.
