REUTERS/Simon Newman (Reuters) - UK pub operator Mitchells and Butlers (M&B) said on Monday it will raise 350 million pounds ($485.98 million) in new equity under a deal with creditors and its main investors that also includes 150 million pounds in new credit lines. M&B, which cut around 1,300 roles last year, said in January it may need to raise fresh funds as Britain’s latest lockdown had shut its sites again.
