Tesco's Chair, Gerry Murphy, commented:

"On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Byron for his significant commitment and invaluable insights and contribution to the Board over the past nine years, particularly in recent years as Senior Independent Director, Chair of the Audit Committee and as interim Chair in the period prior to my appointment in September 2023, and thank him for the thoughtful guidance provided to me and my fellow Directors.

Carolyn, Karen and Melissa are experienced Board members. I am very grateful that they have agreed to take on these additional responsibilities. Carolyn's understanding of the macroeconomic, regulatory and political environment and significant experience across the government, media and business sectors make her ideally placed for the role of Senior Independent Director. Karen's retail and financial background and experience as audit chair of a UK-listed company, will be particularly valuable in the leadership of the Audit Committee. Melissa's wealth of corporate and strategy experience both as an executive and non-executive director and experience on remuneration committees both in the UK and internationally will be welcomed on the Remuneration Committee."
