Board succession update

 

A.G. BARR p.l.c., a multi-beverage business with a portfolio of market-leading
UK brands, including IRN-BRU, Rubicon, Funkin and Boost, today gives an update
on Board succession.

 

After 62 years with the business Robin Barr has informed the Board of his
decision not to seek Board re-election at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in
May 2023.

 

Robin has served on the Board for 58 years and epitomises all that is great in
UK corporate leadership, having provided a great source of experience,
guidance and leadership over almost six decades.

 

Following our Board succession planning processes, it is also announced that
Julie Barr will relinquish her Company Secretarial duties and subject to
shareholder approval will join the Board as a Non-Executive Director.  Julie,
who has been with the Company for 19 years and is a qualified corporate
lawyer, will stand for election at the AGM in May 2023.

 

Chairman Mark Allen commented:

 

"We are hugely indebted to Robin for all his years of service, not to mention
the balanced and insightful guidance he has provided to the Board as the
business has developed across the last 60 years or so.  I am delighted that
Julie will join the Board in due course and I am certain her experience and
skills will complement and further strengthen our Board capabilities."
