WELBECK UK LIMITED—PENSION SCHEME

PURSUANT TO SECTION 27 OF THE TRUSTEE ACT 1925

Welbeck Uk Limited Retirement Benefit Scheme (“The Scheme”) is in the process of winding-up. Announcements regarding the above have been sent by post to 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 any of its subsidiaries on a part time basis, and who considers his or her exclusion from the Fund may have constituted indirect discrimination, who has not received a copy of the announcements, should make themselves known to the Trustees of the Scheme. Particulars of any claim should be sent in writing to the undermentioned on or before 14 December 2002, after which the Trustees will proceed with the winding-up of the Scheme assets having regard only to the claims and interests of which they have had notice. Notification is not required from persons who are currently in receipt of a pension from the Fund, or who have received correspondence from me.
