Announcement of changes in the John Menzies defined benefit
pension scheme
The Board of John Menzies plc today announces that it has made
significant steps to manage the risk of its defined benefit pension
scheme.
Following an extensive consultation process, the Board has
agreed with the trustee of the company's defined benefit scheme
("Trustee"), the Menzies Pension Fund, the process to close the
scheme to future accrual effective today 31 March 2017.
In addition, the Board is pleased to announce that talks have
progressed well with the Trustee and that the company has today
entered into a memorandum of understanding ("MOU") with the
Trustee. This MOU sets the basis of a structure to section the
company's defined benefit pension scheme into two distinct sections
within one fund.
The MOU also defines the basis by which the section that will be
allocated to Menzies Distribution is apportioned and, in addition,
the mitigation required to the remaining section in the event of a
corporate structure change of the John Menzies plc group.
The Board would like to thank the Trustee and its advisors for
the support that they have given to the company to enable the
memorandum of understanding to be signed.
