Change of Auditor

Hollywood Bowl, the UK and Canada's largest ten-pin bowling operator,

subject to approval by shareholders at the 2027 Annual General Meeting of the

deposited a statement with the Company confirming that there are no
circumstances in connection with its resignation that should be brought to the
attention of the members or creditors of the Company. A copy of KPMG's
resignation letter and section 519 statement will be sent to shareholders for
information only in accordance with statutory timescales, and will shortly be
