Significant events
- “In 2021, the Trustee Boards of the pension plans completed a buy-in transaction whereby the assets of the plans were invested in a bulk purchase annuity policy with a third party UK pension insurance specialist. During 2023, the Trustee Boards completed a full buy-out of the plans, following which the insurance company became responsible for the plan obligations, and the associated defined benefit assets and matching defined benefit obligations were derecognised from the Company balance sheet.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
