THE HAMPSHIRE CHEMICAL PENSION SCHEME

NOTICE TO CREDITORS AND BENEFICIARIES UNDER SECTION 27 OF THE TRUSTEE ACT 1925

Pursuant to section 27 of the Trustee Act 1925 and any other relevant power, notice is given that any Member, other Beneficiary, Creditor or anyone else having any claim against, or claims to be beneficially interested in, the assets of The Hampshire Chemical Pension Scheme is required to send to the Trustees of the Scheme at the address given below, on or before 31 May 2002, written particulars of the claim, after which date the Trustees will proceed to secure the benefits of anyone claiming under the Scheme having regard only to the claims of which they then have notice, and, in respect of the assets of the Scheme so used, will not be liable to anyone of whose claim they then have had no notice. This notice is also directed to any former employee of Hampshire Chemical or any associated Company who may have a claim against the assets of the Scheme by virtue of having been unlawfully excluded from membership of it. If the Trustees or the Scheme’s Administrators are already in contact with you (for example if you have received correspondence from them within the last twelve months or are receiving a pension from the Scheme) please do not reply to this notice since your interest has already been noted. The Trustees of The Hampshire Chemical Pension Scheme c/o Aon Limited, Briarcliff House, Kingsmead, Farnborough, Hampshire GU14 7TE (Attention Ms L Howe).
