If you wish to attend the AGM in person, we ask shareholders that they please register their intention to attend online at www.mbplc.com/ agm2024attendance by 9.00am on Friday 19 January 2024. Whilst it is not a legal requirement, registration will assist us in planning and implementing arrangements for this year's AGM. Doors to the Retail Support Centre will

The dial-in details for shareholders to listen to the AGM remotely are as follows:

In accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company, (the 'Articles'), shareholders or their proxies listening remotely will not be counted as being present at the AGM.

We advise shareholders to check the Company's website www.mbplc.com in advance of the AGM in case there are further changes to the arrangements for, or requirements in order to attend, the AGM.

How to ask questions in advance

Your views are very important to us, and shareholders are encouraged to submit questions or raise matters of concern with the Board by submitting these via www.mbplc.com/agm2024qs by 9.00am on Friday 19 January 2024.

Please remember to include your full name and your Shareholder Reference Number ('SRN') when submitting your question. Your SRN is available on your share certificate or on the hard copy Proxy Form which was posted to you. Answers will be given direct to you and/or made available on the Company's website as soon as practicable following receipt or if of general interest will be addressed at the AGM.

How to Vote

Shareholder participation is very important to the Directors and all shareholders are encouraged to vote ahead of the AGM by appointing

a proxy to vote on the resolutions set out in the Notice of the AGM as soon as possible and in any event by 9.00am on Sunday 21 January 2024.

Shareholders can appoint a proxy in respect of any of the resolutions by any of the methods detailed in pages 7 to 8 in the Notice of AGM. Those submitting a proxy are encouraged to consider appointing the Chairman of the AGM (rather than another named person), to ensure that your vote is counted.

Your vote is important to us. As in former years, the formal business at the AGM will be decided by way of a poll. We believe that this is a fair and democratic way to vote which embraces the principle of one vote for every share held. The poll will be conducted using poll cards at the meeting. The poll will close 10 minutes after the close of the AGM.

Board recommendations

The Directors consider that all the resolutions to be put to the AGM are in the best interests of the Company and its members as a whole and are most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole. The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of all the proposed resolutions as they intend to do in respect of their own shares.

Dividend

No Final Dividend will be paid in respect of the financial year ended

30 September 2023 (FY 2022 nil). No Interim Dividend was paid during the year (FY 2022 nil).

Communication online

You can view the 2023 Annual Report at www.mbplc.com/investors/ annualreport. If you wish to receive notice of future general meetings and other notifications online, please register at www.mbplc.com/investors/ shareholder-information/communications-sign-up or contact Equiniti at Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 6DA.

Certain items of business are explained below.

Resolution 2 - Annual Report on Remuneration

Shareholders are given the opportunity by law to vote on whether or not they receive and approve the Annual Report on Directors' Remuneration (the 'Remuneration Report'). This, together with the annual statement by the Chair of the Remuneration Committee, forms the Annual Report on Remuneration and can be found on pages 88 to 118 (inclusive) of the Annual Report. This vote is advisory only. Payments made or promised to Directors will not have to be repaid, reduced or withheld in the event that the resolution is not passed. This vote will be in respect of the content of the Remuneration Report and is not specific to any Director's level or terms of remuneration. The Company's auditor, KPMG LLP, has audited those parts of the Remuneration Report that are required to be audited.

Copies of the Company's Annual Report have been sent to shareholders who have elected to receive them and are available from Equiniti or from the website: www.mbplc.com/investors/annualreport

Resolution 3 - Remuneration Policy

Please see page 98 to 108 of the Annual Report which explains the business in relation to resolution 3 (Remuneration Policy) in further detail. In accordance with the Companies Act 2006, a resolution on the Company's remuneration policy is required to be put to a vote by shareholders. The vote is binding which means that payments cannot be made under the Company's remuneration policy until it has been approved by shareholders. The Company's remuneration policy must be put to shareholders for approval at least every three years, unless during that time it is to be changed. Shareholders approved the Company's existing Directors' remuneration policy at the AGM in 2021 for a period of three years from the date of that meeting. That vote, which is binding on the Company, remains in force until 2024, and thus a new Directors' remuneration policy will require approval at the 2024 AGM.

Resolutions 4 to 12 - re-election of Directors

In accordance with the Articles, and in line with the UK Corporate Governance Code, all Directors will stand for re-election. The Board took the decision not to proceed with a Board effectiveness evaluation during FY 2023 (either internally or externally facilitated). The Board will consider if it is appropriate to carry out such an evaluation, whether internal or using an external facilitator, in FY 2024. Notwithstanding this, the Board considers that the performance of each Board member continues to be effective, demonstrates the commitment required to continue in their present roles and contributes to the long term sustainable success of the Company, and accordingly supports the re-election of each Board member who has submitted themselves for re-election.

The Company has a controlling shareholder for the purposes of the UK Listing Rules, Odyzean Limited, which as at the date of this notice holds

56.69 per cent of its issued share capital. In order to comply with the UK Listing Rules relating to controlling shareholders, the re-election of Amanda Brown, Dave Coplin and Jane Moriarty, being the Company's three Independent Non-Executive Directors, must be approved by a majority of both: (a) the shareholders of the Company; and (b) the independent shareholders of the Company (being shareholders other than Odyzean Limited and its associates). Resolutions 4, 6 and 11 are proposed as ordinary resolutions and can be voted on by all shareholders of the Company. However, the votes cast by independent shareholders will be counted separately in order to assess whether both limbs (a) and (b) are satisfied and the Company will announce the results on this basis.

In accordance with the UK Listing Rules, if any of resolutions 4, 6 or 11 are not approved by a majority of both the (a) shareholders of the Company and

  1. independent shareholders of the Company, the failed resolution may be put to shareholders of the Company at a general meeting which must be held between 90 and 120 days from the date of the original vote. In such circumstances, any Independent Non-Executive Director(s) whose appointment has not been approved by both (a) shareholders of the Company and (b) independent shareholders of the Company will be treated as having been re-elected from the date of the original vote until either (i) the date when they are re-elected, being the date of the subsequent general meeting, or (ii) the date of any announcement by the Board that the Independent Non-Executive Director(s) do(es) not intend to stand for re-election. If a subsequent general meeting does not take place, the appointment will be treated as ceasing 120 days from the date of the original vote. If a subsequent general meeting does take place and the further resolution is approved, the Independent Non-Executive Director(s) will be treated as having been re-elected until the following AGM of the Company. However, if at a subsequent general meeting the further resolution fails, the appointment(s) of the Independent Non-Executive Director(s) so concerned will cease on that date.

Biographical details of all Board Directors are also shown on pages 60 and 61 of the Annual Report and on page 5 of this document. The Board believes this information is sufficient to enable shareholders to make an informed decision on their re-election.

Chairman's letter and explanation of business continued

Resolutions 13 and 14 - reappointment of auditor and the auditor's remuneration

The Company is required to appoint an auditor to serve in office until the conclusion of the Company's next general meeting at which accounts are laid, which is expected to be its next annual general meeting. On the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board proposes the reappointment of the Company's existing auditors, KPMG LLP, who have indicated their willingness to remain in office.

Resolution 13 proposes the reappointment of KPMG LLP as the auditor of the Company to hold office with effect from the end of the AGM.

Resolution 14 seeks authority for the Directors to determine the auditor's remuneration.

Resolution 15 - political donations

Part 14 of the Companies Act 2006 prohibits the Company and its subsidiaries from making political donations or from incurring political expenditure in respect of a political party or other political organisation or an independent election candidate unless authorised by the Company's shareholders. Aggregate donations made by the Group of £5,000 or less in any 12-month period will not be caught.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has any intention of making any political donation or incurring any political expenditure. However, the Companies Act 2006 defines 'political party', 'political organisation', 'political donation' and 'political expenditure' widely. For example, bodies such as those concerned with policy review and law reform or with the representation of the business community or sections of it, which the Company and/or its subsidiaries may see benefit in supporting, may be included in these definitions.

Accordingly, the Company wishes to ensure that neither it nor its subsidiaries inadvertently commit any breaches of the Companies Act 2006 through the undertaking of routine activities, which would not normally be considered to result in the making of political donations or political expenditure being incurred.

As permitted under the Companies Act 2006, the resolution extends not only to the Company but also covers all companies which are subsidiaries of the Company at any time the authority is in place.

The resolution authorises the Company and its subsidiaries to:

  1. make political donations to political parties or independent election candidates not exceeding £50,000 in total;
  2. make political donations to political organisations other than political parties not exceeding £50,000 in total; and
  3. incur political expenditure not exceeding £50,000 in total,

provided that the aggregate amount of any such donations and expenditure shall not exceed £50,000 in the period up to the Company's Annual General Meeting in 2025, as defined in the Companies Act 2006. As required by the Companies Act 2006, the resolution is in general terms and does not purport to authorise particular donations. The authority will expire at the Company's Annual General Meeting in 2025.

Resolution 16- approval of the Mitchells & Butlers plc Performance Share Plan

Following a review of the Company's existing, long-term incentive arrangements, the Board is seeking approval for the adoption of the Mitchells & Butlers plc Performance Share Plan (the 'PSP'). Under the PSP, the Company will grant participants awards which allow them to share in the growth in shareholder value of the Company, and to provide a just system for retaining, incentivising and rewarding participants. Further details on the PSP and its operation are set out on pages 9 to 10 of the Notice of Meeting.

Resolution 17 - approval of the authority to purchase own shares The purpose of resolution 17 is to put in place an authority to enable the Company to make market purchases of up to 29,886,342 ordinary shares representing 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares of which there are none) as at 19 December 2023 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document). The Company has certain fixed obligations, notably in respect of debt service, and as such capital allocation decisions are made primarily to manage the current level of gearing in the balance sheet in order to protect the ongoing and future health of the Company, whilst ensuring that sufficient funds remain available to continue investing in the Group's sites and brands in order to maintain the competitive position of its business. The Company is therefore taking the opportunity to seek shareholder approval at the AGM through resolution 17 to maximise future flexibility. There is no present intention, nor any immediate plans, to exercise such authority and the Directors intend to keep any such exercise under review and will only do so after careful consideration and in circumstances where they are satisfied that to do so would result in an increase in earnings per share and would be likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its shareholders as a whole.

If granted, this authority will expire on the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or, if earlier, 18 months after this resolution is passed. If the authority conferred by this resolution is exercised, the Company will have the option of either holding in treasury or of cancelling any of its own shares purchased pursuant to this authority and will decide at the time of purchase which option to pursue. Such shares may be resold for cash but all rights attaching to them, including voting rights and any right to receive dividends are suspended whilst they are held in treasury. As at

19 December 2023 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document), there were options and awards to subscribe for shares outstanding under the Company's share plans in respect of 13,017,310 ordinary shares representing 2.18% of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares of which there are none). If the authority to purchase the ordinary shares were exercised in full, then the total number of options and awards to subscribe for ordinary shares outstanding would represent 2.29% of the reduced issued share capital (excluding treasury shares of which there are none).

Resolution 18 - notice period for meetings

Under the Shareholders' Rights Regulations the notice period for general meetings of a company (other than annual general meetings) is 21 clear days unless certain requirements are satisfied. The Company has met the requirements and, accordingly, resolution 18 is proposed to allow the Company to continue to call general meetings on 14 clear days' notice. The Directors believe it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole to preserve the shorter notice period and, accordingly, are putting this resolution to the AGM. It is intended that this flexibility will only be used for non-routine business and where merited in the interests of shareholders as a whole. The approval will be effective until the Company's Annual General Meeting in 2025, when it is expected that a similar resolution will be proposed. It should also be noted that in order to be able to call a general meeting on less than 21 clear days' notice, the Company must make a means of electronic voting available to all shareholders.

Yours faithfully

Bob Ivell

Explanatory notes

The following notes explain your general rights as a shareholder and your rights to participate in the AGM and vote on the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM (the 'Resolutions') or to appoint someone else to vote on your behalf. The arrangements for attendance and voting at this year's AGM and for asking questions on the business of the AGM are explained in the Chairman's letter. Any changes to the arrangements will be communicated to shareholders through the Company's website, and where appropriate, by regulatory announcement.

  1. A shareholder attending the AGM in person, has the right to ask questions. However, the Company must cause to be answered any such question relating to the business of the AGM at the AGM but no such answer need be given if: (a) to do so unduly interferes with the preparation for the AGM or involves the disclosure of confidential information; (b) the answer has already been given on the Company's website; or (c) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the AGM that the question be answered.
  2. If you wish to attend the AGM in person, you are asked to register your intention to attend by registering online via www.mbplc.com/ agm2024attendance by 9.00am on Friday 19 January 2024. Should it become necessary or appropriate to revise the current arrangements for the AGM, details of any such changes will be made available on www.mbplc.com

Proxies

  1. Only holders of ordinary shares, or their duly appointed representatives, are entitled to participate in the AGM and vote in respect of the AGM. A member so entitled may appoint (a) proxy(ies), who need not be
    (a) member(s), to exercise any of their rights to participate in, vote and submit questions or raise concerns at the AGM. A member may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the AGM provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that member. As mentioned in this Notice, to ensure that your vote counts, shareholders are strongly encouraged to appoint the Chairman of the AGM as their proxy and then complete, sign and return the Proxy Form to Equiniti, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing BN99 6DA as soon as possible but in any event no later than 9.00am on Sunday 21 January 2024.
  2. A Form of Proxy is enclosed and instructions for its use are shown on the form.
  3. If you wish, you may register the appointment of a proxy for the AGM electronically, by visiting the Company's Registrar's website www.sharevote.co.uk where full details of the procedure are given. The proxy appointment and instructions must be received by Equiniti not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the AGM or adjourned meeting or in the case of a poll taken otherwise than at or on the same day as the AGM or adjourned meeting before the taking of the poll at which it is to be used.

CREST Proxies

6. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service should follow the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed (a) voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

  1. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a 'CREST Proxy Instruction') must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID RA19) not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the AGM. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed (a) voting service provider(s), to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings. The CREST Manual can be reviewed at www.euroclear.com
  2. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

AGM Results

9. At the AGM on Tuesday 23 January 2024 the votes will be taken by

a poll rather than a show of hands and the results will be released to the London Stock Exchange and published on the Company's website www.mbplc.com

Nominated persons

  1. A person to whom this Notice is sent who is a person nominated under Section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 to enjoy information rights

Appendix 1

The Mitchells & Butlers plc Performance Share Plan

Overview

The Mitchells & Butlers plc Performance Share Plan (the 'PSP') is intended to provide a clear alignment between the remuneration of participants and the ownership experience of shareholders. The key objectives of the PSP are to ensure that the remuneration packages for the participants support the Company's goal of maximising sustainable long-term shareholder value, and to provide a just system of retaining, incentivising and rewarding

the participants.

Eligibility

Participation in the PSP is at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee. All employees of the Group, including the Executive Directors of the Company, are eligible to participate.

Grant of awards

Awards can be granted within 42 days from: (a) the adoption date of the PSP; (b) the day immediately following the day on which the Company makes an announcement of its results for the last preceding financial year, half year or other period; or (c) any day on which the Committee resolves that circumstances exist which justify the grant of Awards outside the periods (a) and (b) above. No awards may be granted under the PSP more than 10 years after the date on which the PSP is adopted.

Form of awards

The Remuneration Committee shall decide whether an award under the PSP will take the form of an option, conditional award or phantom award. Options and awards will be over ordinary shares of the Company.

No consideration is payable for the grant of such awards.

Value of awards

In respect of any financial year, the maximum total market value of Company shares over which an award is granted to a participant may not exceed the maximum value permitted for an Executive Director of the Company under the Directors' Remuneration Policy in force at the date of grant.

Holding period

The Remuneration Committee has the discretion to determine whether a two-year holding period (or such other period as the Remuneration Committee may determine at the date of grant) shall apply in respect of the awards. This holding period will be applied for Executive Directors of the Company.

Vesting

Unless the Remuneration Committee determines otherwise at or prior to the date of grant, the vesting date of an award will be the business day after the announcement of the Company's results for the third financial year after the financial year in which the grant takes place, subject to the employee's continued employment at the date of vesting and the satisfaction of the performance conditions.

Tax liability

Upon vesting, sufficient shares may be sold to pay tax on the shares.

Performance conditions

Awards to Executive Directors of the Company will be subject to performance conditions as required by the Directors' Remuneration Policy in force at the date of grant. The Remuneration Committee will determine whether performance conditions will apply to awards to other participants. Any performance conditions will be appropriate to the strategic objectives of the Group and the terms will be determined by the Remuneration Committee before each grant at its discretion.

When determining vesting levels in accordance with any applicable performance conditions, the Remuneration Committee may in its discretion adjust the number of shares vesting, taking into account such factors as it considers reasonable to ensure the vesting of any award is appropriate in the context of the wider business performance of the Group. For example, the Remuneration Committee may make adjustments for business, individual and wider Company performance.

Cash alternative

If for any reason the Remuneration Committee considers that it is impractical or legally onerous to deliver shares in satisfaction of an award, it may instead pay or procure the payment to the participant of a cash sum amount, subject to all necessary deductions.

Dividend equivalents

The number of shares in respect of an award may be increased to account for dividends paid on any vesting shares in the period between grant and vesting. Alternatively, participants may receive a cash sum equal to the value of dividends paid on any vesting shares in the period between grant and vesting.

Leavers

Awards to participants who leave at any time prior to vesting will normally lapse automatically. However, if the participant leaves by reason of death, awards will vest on the date of cessation. If the participant leaves by reason of injury, disability, ill-health, retirement, redundancy, the employing company ceasing to be under the control of the Company or the business in which the participant is employed being transferred to a person who is not a member of the group or for any other reason at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee, awards will continue and vest on the normal vesting date, subject to the holding period and will normally be pro-rated on the basis of the period of time after the grant date and ending on the date of cessation relative to the original vesting period, having regard to any performance conditions and outcome assessment at the original vesting date, unless the Remuneration Committee determines otherwise.

Malus and clawback

The Remuneration Committee may reduce the number of shares under an award, impose further conditions on the vesting of an award, or forfeit shares following an award vesting if certain events occur, including a misstatement of the Company's financial accounts, inaccurate assessment of performance conditions, reputational damage, serious misdemeanour or serious misconduct by the participant, or a corporate failure.

The Mitchells & Butlers plc Performance Share Plan

Change of control

In the event of a takeover, scheme of arrangement or winding up of the Company, subject to the discretion of the Remuneration Committee to require rollover, all outstanding awards will automatically vest and awards granted in the form of an option shall be automatically exercised provided that any exercise price payable by the participant on exercise is no more than the offer price or consideration, having regard to the performance conditions and outcome assessment at the relevant date. The Remuneration Committee will in normal circumstances scale down the vesting level of an award having regard to the time that has elapsed between the grant of the award and the date of change of control, but will retain discretion to modify in any particular case if it considers appropriate.

Rights attaching to shares

All shares transferred once an award has vested will rank equally to the shares in issue at the date of vesting, except a participant will not have any voting or dividend rights prior to the realisation of the award. Benefits received under the PSP are not pensionable and may not be assigned or transferred except on a participant's death.

Adjustment of awards

The award and any performance conditions and outcome assessment may be adjusted in such a way as the Remuneration Committee may determine if there is a variation in the share capital of the Company, a demerger, payment of a special dividend or other similar event which may impact the market value of a share. Any adjustments must be notified to the participants.

Limits on the issue of shares

In any 10 year period, awards may not be granted under the PSP if such grant would cause the number of shares that could be issued under the PSP or the Employees' Share Scheme established by the Company to exceed

10 per cent of the Company's issued ordinary share capital at the proposed date of grant. In addition, in any 10 year period, awards may not be granted under the PSP if such grant would cause the number of shares that could be issued under the PSP or any other discretionary share plans adopted by the Company to exceed five per cent of the Company's issued ordinary share capital at the proposed date of grant.

Alterations to the PSP

In addition to the Remuneration Committee's discretionary powers to vary performance conditions, it will have authority to amend the rules of the PSP, provided that no amendments to the advantage of the participants or eligible employees may be made to provisions relating to:

  • the persons to whom awards may be made;
  • the limits on the number of shares that may be subject to award;
  • the maximum entitlement of any one participant;
  • the basis for determining a participant's entitlement to, and the terms of, shares to be provided under the PSP; and
  • the rules relating to the adjustment of awards on a variation of share capital;

without the prior approval of shareholders in a general meeting, unless the amendment is minor and made to benefit the administration of the PSP, to take account of a change in legislation or to obtain or maintain favourable tax, exchange control or regulatory treatment for participants, or the Company.
