This notice is addressed to former and current employees of Quilter Cheviot Limited (the “Company”).

The Trustees of the Quilter Cheviot Retirement Benefits Scheme (the “Scheme”) intend to start the process of winding-up the Scheme and are keen to trace all former members and their beneficiaries who are - or think they may be - entitled to benefits under the Scheme.

Please write to the Trustees at the address below if you have not been contacted in respect of these benefits and were, or are:

• An employee of the Company and a member of the Scheme; or

• A spouse, civil partner, child or dependant of a deceased member

The Trustees of the Quilter Cheviot Retirement Benefits Scheme

Please ensure your letter is received no later than two months from the date of this notice and that you provide full details of your claim (including your name, address, date of birth and National Insurance number) and any benefits you think you are entitled to.

The Trustees have insured the benefits of Scheme members by means of a bulk annuity purchase with Aviva Plc. After the two-month notice period expires, the Trustees will distribute the Scheme’s assets having regard only to claims, entitlements and interests for which they have prior written notice. They will not be liable in respect of any person whose claims have not been notified to them in writing.

If you already receive a pension from the Scheme, or have received announcements from the Trustees regarding the winding-up and transfer of the Scheme’s liabilities, you do not need to write to the Trustees as they already have full details of your benefit entitlement.

Issued on behalf of the Trustees of the Quilter Cheviot Retirement Benefits Scheme
