RE: RNS Pension Scheme20 Apr 2020 15:37
I think the point is that by putting all schemes together the company gains the benefits of having the RHM Scheme (which has been managed very well) supporting the other schemes which are in deficit. Premier Foods therefore needs to spend less money supporting the two smaller schemes.
If the pension scheme(s) were sold it would be to remove the chance of future liabilities falling on Premier Foods.
