Directorate Change

Hollywood Bowl, the UK's largest ten-pin bowling operator, announces that following the announcement by Electra Private Equity Partners 2006 Scottish LP ('Electra') earlier today that it has sold, subject to completion, its entire shareholding in the Company, Bill Priestley, Electra's representative on the Board of the Company, has resigned as a Non-Executive Director of the Company with immediate effect.
