MIDLAND MOTOR COMPONENTS LIMITED

PURSUANT TO SECTION 27 OF THE TRUSTEE ACT 1925

The Midland Motor Components Limited (1998) Executive Pension Plan (“The Scheme”) was established with effect from 1 December 1998. The Company went into liquidation on 21 December 1999. F A Hatch and T C Lammas were appointed Trustees of the Pension Scheme when the Company went into liquidation and have since proceeded with the winding-up of the Scheme. The Trustees have corresponded by post with all known Members of the Scheme. Accordingly, it is of vital importance that any person having a claim against or an interest in the Scheme, including any person who may have been employed by the Company or an associated employer on a part-time basis and who considers that his or her exclusion from the Scheme may have constituted indirect discrimination, who has not received correspondence from us should make themselves known to the Trustees of the Scheme. Any such claimant must, on or before 15 December 2001, send his or her full address and full particulars of any claim in writing to F A Hatch Esq, of Castle & Co, Priory Chambers, Priory Street, Dudley, West Midlands DY1 1HD, after which time the winding-up of the Scheme and distribution of the Scheme assets will proceed having regard only to the claims and interests of which it has had notice. Notification is not required from persons who are currently in receipt of a pension from the Scheme, or who have received correspondence relating to this Scheme from F A Hatch Esq. F A Hatch, Trustee
