Ocado’s remuneration deal for bosses also handed CFO Stephen Daintith a £1.39 million total pay deal, with its five top directors receiving almost £7 million between them.
However, this comes as the group posted wider losses of around £501 million, an increase from £177 million the year prior.
Retail sales also slumped by 3.8% to £2.2 billion, attributing a “challenging market” to its losses, following the Covid-19 pandemic sparking a boom in online shopping.
