Tesco said there had been "an extensive programme of change" since 2014.
Mr Bush was managing director of Tesco UK, Mr Rogberg was finance director UK and Mr Scouler was UK food commercial director.
The SFO started a criminal investigation in October 2014, a week after Tesco announced that its profits had been overstated by £263m
Auditors found that the inflated profit figure was the result of Tesco bringing forward rebates from suppliers.
