  • * Inflation, as measured by the change in the Retail Price Index (‘RPI’) between September 2008 and September 2009, was negative over this period. However, since pensions accruing would not decrease in a period of deflation, we have calculated the figures above allowing for 0% inflation over the period.
  • The ‘Increase in transfer value net of Directors’ contributions’ differs from the ‘Transfer value of increase in accrued benefits’ in that it reflects changes in the transfer value assumptions and market conditions over the year less the Directors’ own contributions to the pension scheme.
  • The transfer values have been calculated on the basis of actuarial advice in accordance with the 2008 transfer value regulations. The transfer values of the accrued entitlement in respect of qualifying service represents the value of assets that the pension scheme would need to transfer to another pension provider on transferring the liability in respect of the Directors’ pension benefits that they earned in respect of qualifying service. They do not represent sums payable to individual Directors and, therefore, cannot be added meaningfully to annual remuneration.
