Significant events

• “In May 2025, at the request of the Trustees, the Group exercised its power under the UKPP's trust deed and rules to provide formal notice to terminate the plan. This marks a key milestone in progressing the UKPP towards full buy-out and wind-up. We expect the process to complete during the year ending 31 March 2026, with any resulting surplus anticipated to be repaid to the Group during 2026.”
• “Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Group commenced a review of its operations which may result in severance costs; however, no final decisions have been made and the financial impact remains uncertain at the date of approval of these financial statements.”

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
