Appointment of Non-executive Director

Mothercare plc is pleased to announce the appointment of Lee Ginsberg as a non-executive director and Audit chair elect.  Lee joins the Board with effect from 2 July 2012, with his appointment subject to ratification by shareholders at a general meeting of the company.

Commenting on the appointment, Alan Parker CBE, Chairman, said:

"I am delighted that Lee is joining the Mothercare Board, both as a non-executive director and replacing Bernard Cragg when he retires as Chair of the Audit committee at the end of this year.  Lee's extensive experience as the finance director of a number of public companies, as well as his consumer and brand experience and particularly his franchising knowledge at Domino's, will be a real asset to Mothercare as we deliver our transformation and growth plan.

Bernard has served more than nine years on the Board during which time he has provided great financial and business support to the Company and its executive management. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank him and wish him all the best for the future."

Lee Ginsberg said:

"I am excited to be joining the Board of Mothercare plc, and look forward to working with Alan and the other members of the Board in providing support to Simon Calver and his executive team at this important time in the development of the Company."
