The Trustee of the Fund hereby gives notice for the purpose of section 27 of the Trustee Act 1925 that the Fund will shortly be wound up.

The Trustee wishes to trace any persons who believe that they may have any right to benefits from the Fund and who did not receive letters from the Trustee in July 2022 and August 2023 notifying them that the Fund is being wound up and that their benefits will be secured in an individual policy with Aviva Life & Pensions UK Limited (“Aviva”).

Any such persons should write to the following address giving full details of their claim and any benefits that they think they are entitled to, including their full name, address, national insurance number, dates of employment, and copies of any relevant documents:

The Trustee of the Ascot Racecourse Limited 1974 Retirement Fund

c/o XPS Administration Limited

PO Box 562

Middlesbrough, TS1 9JA

or email at Ascot1974@xpsgroup.com

Any claim must be registered with the Trustee by 30 April 2024.

Following the issue of the individual policies referred to above, all the assets representing the benefits of all known members will have been transferred out of the Fund. As a result, once the date specified above has passed, the Trustee will distribute any remaining assets and wind up the Fund without regard to the claims of any beneficiary of whom the Trustee has not had prior notice and without liability to or in respect of any person whose claim or entitlement has not been notified to it by 30 April 2024.

If the Trustee, or XPS, is already in contact with you (for example if you have received correspondence from them or are receiving a pension) you do not need to reply to this notice as your interest has already been noted.

Issued on behalf of The Trustee of the Ascot Racecourse Limited 1974 Retirement Fund.
