Board and Committee Composition

For Immediate Release

30 March 2017

Booker Group plc

Board and Committee changes

Non-Executive Directors

On 27 January 2017, it was announced that we are intending to merge with Tesco PLC. Following the announcement, the Board considered the composition of the Board and its committees and agreed that the Company would benefit from stability, as well as retaining the knowledge and experience Andrew Cripps has gained of the Company over the past nine years. We are therefore delighted that Andrew Cripps, rather than retiring, has agreed to continue as a Non-Executive Director and member of the Audit and Remuneration Committees.

As Andrew Cripps will have served on the Board for more than nine years, in accordance with The UK Corporate Governance Code the Board, during their annual review of director independence, will undertake a rigorous review as to whether it considers Andrew Cripps will remain independent before proposing him for re-appointment at the 2017 AGM.

Board and Committee Composition

In light of the above, the current Board and Committee composition remains as follows:

Board

Stewart Gilliland (Chairman), Charles Wilson (Chief Executive), Jonathan Prentis (Group Finance Director), Guy Farrant (Chief Operating Officer) and the following Non-Executive Directors Karen Jones (Senior Independent Director), Helena Andreas, Andrew Cripps and Gary Hughes.

Audit Committee

Gary Hughes (Chairman), Andrew Cripps and Karen Jones.

Nominations Committee

Stewart Gilliland (Chairman), Gary Hughes and Karen Jones.

Remuneration Committee

Karen Jones (Chairman), Andrew Cripps and Gary Hughes.
