Notice Under Section 27 Of The Trustee Act 1925

BRITISH BATA PENSION & DEATH BENEFITS SCHEME

Pursuant to section 27 of the Trustee Act 1925, notice is hereby given that the trustees of the British Bata Pension & Death Benefits Scheme (‘the Scheme’) are intending to complete the winding up of the Scheme and transfer its remaining assets to the Pension Protection Fund.

Anyone who has not previously been contacted by the trustees and who believes they are entitled to any benefits from the Scheme (including any former member of the Bata Shoe Organisation Retirement Plan and Group Life Assurance Plan, whose benefits were transferred into the Scheme) should write and provide details of their name, address, date of birth, national insurance number and the benefits to which they believe they are entitled, to: The Trustees of British Bata Pension & Death Benefits Scheme, c/o Paul Siemens, Mercer Limited, Westgate House, 52 Westgate, Chichester PO19 3HF. You should also include supporting evidence of your claim to benefits.

You must send this information within two months of the date of this notice. After the two month period expires the trustees will not be liable to any person for any interest or entitlement under the Scheme of which the trustees have not had notice. You do not need to contact the trustees if you are receiving a pension from the Scheme, if you took a refund of your Scheme contributions or you transferred your Scheme benefits to another arrangement.
