Tim Steiner, CEO, said: "In this period, Ocado entered the next phase of its development, becoming a public company, and we welcome our new shareholders. I would also like to thank our customers, our staff and our partners at Waitrose for their continued support. Given increased customer demand and our need to increase capacity it was an appropriate time for the company to raise capital for growth. We now have the funds required to finish the build out of CFC1 and to build CFC2."
