Mitchells & Butlers announces that Chief Executive, Adam Fowle, is to leave the Company by mutual consent after a period of two years in the post.

A search process is underway to identify a successor, which will be announced in due course. In the meantime Jeremy Blood, who is currently a non-executive director on the Board, will take on the role of Interim Chief Executive until a permanent successor is appointed. Adam will remain with the Company for a period to ensure an orderly and effective transition.

The Company will continue to focus on its strategy to develop and grow Mitchells & Butlers' market leading brands.

The Company is performing in line with the Board's expectations and will announce Half Year Results on 20 May 2011.

Simon Burke, Chairman, commented:

"Adam has made a significant contribution over a number of years to Mitchells & Butlers and in particular in the past two years, developing and leading the strategic change the Company has undertaken whilst maintaining a strong operational performance in challenging conditions. He leaves the Company in a much stronger position than when he took over as Chief Executive and we wish him all the best for the future."

"Jeremy has significant industry and corporate experience and I look forward to working with him during this interim period."
