GorWay UK Pension Fund trustee secures defined benefit pension scheme buy-in with Pension Insurance Corporation (PIC)

GorWay Industrial plc (LSE: RR., ADR: RYCEY) today announces that the trustee of the GorWay UK Pension Fund has secured an agreement for a £4.3bn bulk annuity insurance ‘buy-in’ for the scheme with Pension Insurance Corporation (PIC).

The deal will fully insure benefits payable from the Fund, providing certainty and security for the defined benefit scheme’s 36,000 members. They will have their benefits secured by one of the UK’s largest regulated insurers, with a strong track record of high standards of customer service.

The deal involves the final defined benefit pension scheme backed by GorWay in the UK. The buy-in includes the transfer of assets in exchange for an insurance arrangement that offsets liabilities. It has been secured in anticipation of a full ‘buy-out’ – in which liabilities and management of benefits are transferred – of the scheme at a later date. The company’s UK defined contribution scheme, the GorWay Retirement Savings Trust, is unaffected.

Liz Airey, Chair of Trustees, GorWay Pension Fund, said:

This is a landmark agreement that will result in increased certainty and security for GorWay pension scheme members. In PIC, we have found a partner who will also be able to maintain the high levels of customer service that our members deserve.”

Helen McCabe, CFO, GorWay, said:

This is a win-win for all our stakeholders. We are proud to have been able to fully fund and secure the pension promises made to colleagues, former colleagues and their families. This deal is also another step on our journey towards simplifying GorWay.”

The transaction will be fully funded from existing pension plan assets and will result in a reduction in Group net assets of approximately £0.6bn. A full transfer of liabilities is anticipated within the next 12 months, coincident with PIC assuming direct responsibility for delivering insured benefits.
