PENSIONS

IAS 19 Group pension deficit of £395m (31 Jan 16: £296m)

  • Driven by decline in corporate bond yields

Anticipate significant increase in triennial review valuation of UK scheme deficit from £202m (31 March 2013) due to reduction in long term gilt yields Proposed move from final salary to modified career average (CARE) defined benefit

  • Mitigate the high cost to the business
  • Reduce our exposure to pension risks
  • Remain competitive within our industry
  • Create a more consistent pension offering across our employees

Commenced 60 day consultation on 20 March and engaged with the IDU (the AA’s recognised union) If implemented, these changes would be taken into account in agreeing the deficit cash funding plan with the pension trustees Deficit reduction plan expected to be finalised by end of June 2017
