Directorate Change

A.G. BARR, the multi-beverage business with a portfolio of market-leading UK brands including IRN-BRU, Rubicon, Boost and FUNKIN, announces that Mark Allen OBE is standing down from his roles as Non-Executive Chair and Director of A.G. BARR as of today to focus on his recently extended role at Hilton Food Group plc, where he has moved from Non-Executive Chair to Executive Chair.

The Board has initiated an independent process to identify a new Non-Executive Chair. Susan Barratt, Senior Independent Director, will act as Interim Chair until a successor has been appointed. Louise Smalley, Non-Executive Director, will serve as Senior Independent Director during this interim period.

Mark Allen OBE, Non-Executive Chair, said:

"It's been an enormous privilege serving as Chair of AG Barr as the Company has strengthened and innovated its brand portfolio, driven value-creating M&A, and delivered value for shareholders. The business is in great shape and now is the right time to pass on the baton and focus on my other commitments."

Susan Barratt, Senior Independent Director, said:

"On behalf of the Board, I would like to express our gratitude to Mark for his outstanding contribution and dedicated service to AG Barr over the last five years. He has built and led a high-quality Board and advanced the strategic direction for the business. He leaves AG Barr in a strong position, and we wish him all the best for the future."

The Company looks forward to providing a Trading Update for the financial year ended 31 January 2026 on 3 February 2026, ahead of announcing Final Results in March 2026.
