5 August 2005


                                 NYSE Delisting


On 13 April 2005, Mitchells & Butlers ('MAB') announced its intention to
terminate its American Depositary Receipt ('ADR') programme and to delist
voluntarily from the New York Stock Exchange ('NYSE').

The ADR programme terminated on 19 July 2005 and the Company has been advised
that its securities are today being delisted from the NYSE with effect from NYSE
opening.

Notwithstanding the delisting, MAB's registration under the US Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934 ('the Exchange Act') remains in effect and MAB will
continue to comply with its obligations, including the filing of Annual Reports
on Form 20-F. However, in view of the increasing costs of maintaining a US
registration for non-US companies, MAB does intend to examine ways in which it
may terminate its Exchange Act registration in due course.
