During the period, the J <strong>Sainsbury</strong> <strong>plc</strong> Qualifying Employee Share Ownership Trust (the QUEST) was established under a deed of trust dated<br />
11 December 1998. The purpose of the QUEST is to acquire shares for employees, including Directors, in satisfaction of their options under<br />
the Savings-Related Share Option Scheme.<br />
Of the 5.8 million ordinary shares allotted in relation to the Savings-Related Share Option Scheme, 5.0 million ordinary shares were<br />
subscribed for by the QUEST at a market value of £21 million. These shares were allocated to employees, including Directors, in satisfaction<br />
of options exercised under the Scheme. The Company provided £6 million to the QUEST for this purpose. The cost of this contribution has<br />
been transferred by the Company directly to the Profit and Loss Account reserve (see note 26).<br />
