THE BIRMINGHAM MINT PENSION PLAN

Pursuant to section 27 of the Trustee Act 1925, notice is given that the Birmingham Mint Pension Plan (“the Plan”) is in wind-up. The Trustees of the Plan are anxious to trace former employees (whether full-time or part-time) of The Birmingham Mint Limited or The Birmingham Mint Group Limited or Birmingham Mint Products Limited or IMI Birmingham Mint Limited or BML Realisations Limited who are, or think they may be, entitled to benefits under the Plan. Any such person is asked to provide written particulars of any such claim, entitlement or interest to Eversheds Pension Trustees Limited, 115 Colmore Row, Birmingham B3 3AL, on or before 15 February 2005.
After this date, the Trustees will distribute the assets of the Plan to the persons entitled to them, and will have regard only to claims of which they have notice. The Trustees shall not be liable to any person for whom notification of a claim or demand has not been received by the Trustees. Notification is not required from persons who are currently in receipt of a pension from the Plan or who have received correspondence relating to the Scheme from the Trustees since 1 May 2003.
