(Reuters) - British mother and baby products retailer Mothercare Plc (L:MTC) said Chief Financial Officer Matt Smith has resigned.
Mothercare, which has received takeover interest from its U.S. rival Destination Maternity Corp (O:DEST), on Friday said Smith would stay on for another 12 months.
London-listed Mothercare's CEO Simon Calver quit in February, weeks after a profit warning showed that plans to revive the group were faltering.
Smith was among several candidates being interviewed by department store chain Debenhams Plc (L:DEB) to succeed its Finance Director Simon Herrick, the Sunday Times reported earlier this month. (http://thetim.es/1k6Cr5Z)
Smith was named CFO last March.
