Last October U.S. giant Walmart sold a majority holding in Asda to the billionaire Issa brothers and private equity group TDR Capital in a deal giving it an enterprise value of 6.8 billion pounds ($9.5 billion).

Asda said Burnley will exit when the business has transitioned fully to the new ownership and once his long-term successor is in place.
