TT fully de-risks UK DB Pension Scheme23 Nov 2022 18:48
TT Electronics plc ("TT", "the Group"), a global provider of engineered electronics for performance critical applications, is pleased to announce that it has completed a buy-in of all its UK defined benefit pension liabilities giving an immediate £6 million cash flow benefit.
The Trustee of the TT Electronics Pension Scheme (the "Scheme") has purchased a bulk annuity insurance policy from Legal and General Assurance Society Limited ("L&G"), covering all liabilities required to pay all future defined benefit pensions for the Scheme's circa 5,000 members and any eligible dependants.
The purchase of this insurance policy is the successful culmination of extensive work over the last few years by TT and the Scheme Trustees. The insurance policy has been purchased using existing assets held within the Scheme, without the need for TT to make any additional contributions.
TT will not be required to make any future contributions into the Scheme regarding defined benefit liabilities and the buy-in delivers greater security to the Scheme's members. The Scheme's circa £400 million of liabilities are now matched by the insurance policy, and TT no longer bears any investment, longevity, interest rate or inflation risk in respect of the Scheme.
