*Special resolutions

Resolution 2

While the Board is pleased that all other resolutions were carried with very large majorities, we are disappointed that the advisory vote on the Directors' Remuneration Report was not passed.

Following recent engagement on our Remuneration Report with a number of our larger shareholders, we have been reassured that the majority agree that the overall outcome of the 2017 PSP award is proportionate given the outstanding turnaround delivered by management. We recognise, however, that a significant number of shareholders had concerns with the principle of the Committee's adjustment to the TSR comparator group.

Following the AGM, the Remuneration Committee will continue to engage with shareholders to fully understand their concerns and will consider the full range of feedback as we prepare to put our Remuneration Policy to shareholders at the 2021 AGM in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act. We will publish an update on our engagement, in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, within six months of the 2020 AGM.

Notes

Results of the poll can also be viewed on the Company's website: https://www.tescoplc.com/investors/shareholder-centre/shareholder-meetings/

Please note a 'vote withheld' is not a vote under English law and is not counted in the calculation of votes 'for' and 'against' a resolution.

The total number of ordinary shares in issue on 24 June 2020 at 6.30pm was 9,793,496,561. Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2 copies of the resolutions (other than those relating to ordinary business) will be submitted to the FCA National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .
