Well, this is what Sky News says and EASA implies. The CAA have, however, publicly stated that existing CAA/EASA licences will automatically convert to UK with no re-issuing at all (and they deny any plan to re-issue).
If this difference of opinion is real (rather than manufactured in the media and places like this) then things could get really interesting all the way to ICAO dispute resolution. We may not find out until Brexit day because the EU commission have banned EASA from talking directly to CAA to work out if they actually do have a fundamental disagreement or if it's merely other people misunderstanding.
