_________________________________________________________________________________

2 This Schedule is drafted on the assumption that the bulk transfer takes place following a Relevant Transfer Date. The Schedule does not provide for a bulk transfer following a Cessation Date (when the Contractor or the relevant Sub-Contractor ceases to be an Admission Body in the LGPS and provides a broadly comparable pension scheme as an alternative pension provision) because of the uncertain nature of a Cessation Date. If the Authority wishes the Schedule to apply in the event of a Cessation Date then appropriate amendments to the Schedule will be required and consideration will need to be given regarding the open-ended nature of the Actuary's Letter.
