FORM A

SURPLUS APPORTIONMENT SCHEME OF THE LUCAS SOUTH AFRICA PENSIONFUND (12/8/10121)(“the Fund” IN TERMS OF SECTION 15B(1)

1. The liquidator of the Fund, has determined the following scheme for the apportionment of actuarial surplus to be submitted to the Registrar for consideration.

2. The actuarial surplus apportionment is only sufficient to provide minimum benefits to former member and pensioners. (“First tier” distribution only);

3. The surplus apportionment date (SAD) is 30 June 2002 and was determined as follows..

	Tick	Insert date
Advanced	√

4. If the date was advanced, kindly furnish reasons for such advancement:

An application to advance the statutory valuation date was approved by the Financial Services Board.

The main reasons for the application were that the Fund is inexorably linked with the Prestolite Pension Fund (PF12/8/27521) which has a surplus apportionment date of 30 June 2002. For consistency it was desirable to perform the valuation and the calculations of any former member and pensioner minimum benefit upgrades for the Fund at the same date as the Prestolite Pension Fund.

5. The Fund is not a Bargaining Council Fund.

*

6. The membership of the Fund, including the number of eligible former members, as at the SAD is as follows:

	Number
Active members	0
Pensioners	123
Deferred pensioners	0
Former members	2075

7. The Fund is a defined benefit fund. An actuarial valuation as at SAD reflects the financial position of the Fund as the following:

	R'000	R'000
ASSETS
7.1	Fair value of assets	0
7.2	Actuarial value of assets*¹	37,762
7.3	Investment reserve account*	0
	TOTAL ASSETS	37,762
LIABILITIES
7.4	Active members	0
7.5	Pensioners	23,557
7.6	Deferred pensioners	0
7.7	Provision for closure and liquidation²	2,342
7.8	Provision for rectification adjustment to Prestolite³	1,090
7.9	Provision for adjustment for D&L i.r.o. pensioners⁴	449
	TOTAL LIABILITIES	27,438
CONTINGENCY RESERVES
7.10	Surplus apportionment cost reserve	1,260
	TOTAL CONTINGENCY RESERVES	1,260
	SURPLUS⁵	9,064

¹The actuarial value of assets includes the discounted value of the estimated net future recoveries of assets as agreed with the Financial Services Board on 26 March 2010. ²The provision for future closure and liquidation expenses has been included for consistency with the inclusion of the future recoveries as agreed with the Financial Services Board on 26 March 2010. ³The provision is the present value of the payment of an additional amount to the Prestolite Pension Fund as a result of the rectification, based on the additional assets recovered to date (refer Section 6.2 of the valuation report). ⁴The provision is the present value of the repayment due to the initial recovery being based on incorrect pensioner liabilities (refer Section 6.5 of the valuation report). ⁵Surplus equals Total Assets – Total Liabilities – Total Contingency Reserves

*

8. The Liquidator has investigated the financial history of the Fund and determined the utilisation of actuarial surplus which falls within the uses defined in terms of section 15B(6).

The investigation was conducted for the time period commencing on 1 January 1980 until the surplus apportionment date of the Fund.

Acting on the Liquidator's instructions, the actuary has determined the amount of surplus utilised at the effective date of each such instance, and accumulated such amount to the surplus apportionment date:

Description	Effective Date	Paragraph in section 15B(6) under which the instance falls	Amount of surplus utilised at the effective date accumulated to the surplus apportionment date (note 1)	Whether the Liquidator is applying for this to be excluded from the apportionment (Yes / No) (note 2)
The cost of benefit improvements for executives	1/10/1991	(b)(i)	2,971	No
Total excluding items for which the Liquidator will be applying for exemption			2,971

9. The actuarial surplus available for apportionment is therefore as follows:

	R'000
SURPLUS AS REVEALED IN THE VALUATION⁶	9,064
SURPLUS UTILISED IMPROPERLY⁷	0
ACTUARIAL SURPLUS⁸	9,064

10. The cost to top up former members and pensioners to minimum benefit levels as a prior charge against actuarial surplus is:

	R'000
Pensioners	0
Former Members	23,005
TOTAL TOP-UP COST	23,005

⁶Refer to § 7
⁷The Liquidator has partly recovered the assets and these have already been included in the actuarial surplus in the valuation. It would not be prudent to include any further amounts until they are recovered. Future recoveries will therefore be added to the distributable surplus and used to increase the surplus benefit payments to stakeholders ⁸Actuarial surplus equals surplus as revealed in the valuation plus surplus utilised improperly

*

11. The actuarial surplus will be apportioned between the stakeholder classes as follows, giving the estimated Rand shares and the proportion of the total:

	R'000	%
FIRST TIER DISTRIBUTION
Pensioners	0	0%
Former members	9,064	100%
RESIDUAL DISTRIBUTION
Former members⁹	0	0
Active members	0	0
Pensioners	0	0
Deferred pensioners	0	0
Employer	0	0
TOTAL¹⁰	9,064	100%

12. The amounts apportioned will be applied as follows:

Class of stakeholder	Manner in which the actuarial surplus will be applied for their benefit
Former members	Cash payment to provide a proportionate top-up to the minimum benefit.
Active members	Not applicable
Pensioners	Not applicable
Deferred pensioners	Not applicable
Employer	Not applicable

13. Note that there were no active members or deferred pensioners at the surplus apportionment date and that the minimum pension increases for pensioners were not affordable.

14. The surplus due to any stakeholder as a result of a surplus apportionment scheme approved by the Registrar shall be increased or decreased with fund return from the surplus apportionment date until the surplus is awarded, paid or allocated.

15. The Liquidator approved the surplus apportionment scheme.

⁹It may be necessary to split the residual surplus apportioned to former members between different tranches of former members ¹⁰The total must equal the actuarial surplus as determined in § 9

*

16. The person appointed by the Liquidator to represent the interests of former members:

Full Name:	Raymond Scott Hislop
Address:	PO Box 84041 Greenside Johannesburg 2034
Telephone number:	011 4779084
Mobile number:	082 5706124
E-mail address:	None
Occupation:	Retired Chartered Accountant
Relation to Fund:	None

17. The steps taken to identify and contact former members and obtain sufficient information to enable the calculations of any top up benefit were as follows:

The former member records were extracted from the Administrator's systems (01/06/1992 – 01/03/2000 Old Mutual and 01/03/2000 – 30/11/2002 Sovereign Fairsure / CCI Integrated (received data from Tennant)) and advertisements were placed for members to register their details.

A copy of the advertisements placed by the Liquidator are enclosed.

18. Former members were taken into account as follows:

	Number	%
Former members for whom the calculations could be performed and who could be traced to make payment:	414	20%
Former members for whom the calculations could be performed but who cannot be traced:	1573	76%
Former members, who have been traced but in respect of whom insufficient information could be obtained to enable the calculations to be performed (note 3):	0	0%
Former members, who have neither been traced, nor in respect of whom the Liquidator has obtained sufficient information to enable the calculations to be performed (note 3):	88	4%
Total	2075	100%

Notes:
(1) The Liquidator is required to provide its best estimate of the total number of former members who left the fund between 1 January 1980 and the surplus apportionment date. (2) The Liquidator may have been able to obtain sufficient data from the administrators of the fund or the employer to enable the calculations to be performed, but cannot trace the former members. The top up benefits due to these former members should be reflected in the accounts of the fund as

*

outstanding benefits. The Liquidator of the Fund is required to explain the further steps envisaged in tracing these former members:

A tracing agent will be employed to obtain former member details for those who have not responded. There is an allowance in the expense budget for this tracing exercise.

(3) Where the fund has not been able to trace the members at all, and the fund has insufficient information to enable the calculations to be performed, or the fund has traced the members but has not been successful in obtaining sufficient information to enable the benefit to be calculated, the Liquidator may set aside a contingency reserve or may offer these members an amount in settlement of any claim they might have.

19. The report by the person who represented the interests of former members on the steps taken to identify former members and obtain sufficient information to enable the calculations of any top up benefit, and on the equity of the apportionment to them, is enclosed with this application.

20. Is the apportionment directly or indirectly based on any written agreement between the employer, the fund, the members and / or any third party?

No

21. The employers, former members, pensioners and the active members have been informed of the scheme in a manner consistent with the criteria set out in the Section 15 Directive, and have been given at least 12 (twelve) weeks in which to object to the scheme.

Start date of 12-week period: 28 March 2011
End date of 12-week period: 20 June 2011

22. A copy of the information pack given to members, including any written statements and a copy of any presentation made to this scheme documentation.

23. The objections have been considered by the Liquidator of the fund. The complaints are summarised in Appendix I which also contains the response by the Liquidator.

24. The apportionment described above is, in the opinion of the Liquidator, reasonable and equitable in respect of all classes of stakeholders.

25. The following claims¹¹against the fund were not taken into account when determining the distribution of actuarial surplus:

Not applicable.

(noting that such claims should exclude any claims which have been recognised as liabilities by the Liquidator and the valuator)

¹¹These do not refer to outstanding benefits or creditors, both of which should be taken into account as liabilities if transferred; these refer to pending litigation or complaints in which members or former members are demanding adjustment to amounts previously paid or to accrued liabilities which are being transferred.

*

26. Surplus apportioned to former members who cannot be traced shall constitute unclaimed benefits.

27. Any over budgeted amounts shall be included in distributable surplus within the bounds of practicality, prior to the final payments being made.

28. The surplus due to any stakeholder as a result of a surplus apportionment scheme approved by the Registrar shall be increased or decreased with fund return from the surplus apportionment date until the surplus is awarded, paid or allocated.

29. In terms of the communication to stakeholders, the Liquidator has decided that any future recoveries, after deducting associated expenses in excess of the provision made, will be apportioned to stakeholders as follows:

• The minimum benefits of former members will be increased up to 100% of their full upgrade, to the extent possible
• Thereafter, the minimum benefit upgrade for the 88 former members who were excluded since their benefit could not be calculated, will be approximated and settled with them, to the extent possible
• Any remaining surplus will be split proportionately between the minimum benefits of all former members (including those who did not qualify for a minimum benefit upgrade) and the reserves of pensioners and deferred pensioners at the surplus apportionment date
• There will be no allocation of surplus to the employer since it had benefited by way of past contribution holidays

The payments to former members may be effected in a number of instalments as the financial position of the Fund allows. A number of claims of members are still being ratified at this stage and these will be included in the apportionment if possible.
