Further to the announcement of 11 February 2021 that shareholder approval was granted at the General Meeting for a Special Dividend and associated Share Consolidation, Tesco PLC (the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company's Share Consolidation has today become effective.

Admission of the Company's New Ordinary Shares to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities, as well as admission to a secondary listing on the Official List of The Irish Stock Exchange plc, trading as Euronext Dublin, and to trading on the Euronext Dublin Market operated by Euronext Dublin, took place at 8.00 a.m. today.

The ISIN for the New Ordinary Shares is GB00BLGZ9862.

As a result of the Share Consolidation and in accordance with the requirements of the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 5.6.1A, the Company hereby notifies the market that the Company's issued share capital as at 8.00 a.m. on 15 February 2021 consisted of 7,731,707,820 ordinary shares of 6 ¹/₃ pence each. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company as at 15 February 2021 is 7,731,707,820.

The above figure may be used by shareholders and others with notification obligations as their denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
