Confirmation of Interests in Tesco PLC Shares and Grant of Roll Over Options Pursuant to the Tesco PLC and Booker Group plc Merger

Tesco Shareholdings

Following the completion of the recommended all-share merger of Tesco and Booker, holders of ordinary shares of 1 pence in Booker at 6.00 p.m. on 2 March 2018 were entitled to receive 42.6 pence in cash and 0.861 new ordinary shares in Tesco for each share they held in Booker, subject to valid elections made under the mix and match facility.

Tesco has been advised that as a result of completion of the merger, and in accordance with the requirements of the EU Market Abuse Regulation, on 5 March 2018 the following Directors and PDMRs held the following interests in Tesco:

 
 PDMR                 Shareholding 
-------------------  ------------- 
 Charles Wilson       108,550,807 
-------------------  ------------- 
 Stewart Gilliland    43,050 
-------------------  ------------- 
 

As previously disclosed, Charles Wilson intends to hold these shares, which includes the 24,533 Tesco PLC shares held previously by him, for five years from 5 March 2018 on, and subject to, the terms of a Lock-up Agreement, subject to certain customary carve-outs.

Grant of Roll Over Options

On 5 February 2018, Tesco PLC made an offer to all participants of the Booker Performance Share Plan to either exercise their options, or be granted options on similar terms over Ordinary Shares in Tesco PLC.

Under the terms of this offer, on 6 March 2018, Charles Wilson, CEO UK and ROI, released his existing Booker PSP option over 1.4 million Booker Group plc ordinary shares, granted on 3 July 2008, in consideration for the grant of a nil-cost option over 1,500,647 Ordinary Shares of 5 pence each in Tesco PLC ("Option").

In accordance with the procedures set out in the letter to Booker PSP participants dated 5 February 2018 as disclosed on the Booker website, the number of Ordinary Shares in Tesco PLC over which the new Option has been granted has been calculated using a market price of 202.00 pence per share, the Tesco PLC closing share price on 2 March 2018. This is on the same basis as other Booker PSP participants.

The Option has vested and is exercisable until 3 July 2018.

The Notification of Dealing Form can be found below. This announcement is made in accordance with Article 19 of the EU Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014.
