12 Marks & Spencer UK Pension Scheme interest in the Scottish Limited Partnership<br />

Marks <strong>and</strong> Spencer plc is a general partner <strong>and</strong> the Marks & Spencer UK Pension Scheme is a limited partner of the Marks <strong>and</strong><br />

Spencer Scottish Limited Partnership. As such, the partnership is consolidated into the results of the Group.<br />

The Marks <strong>and</strong> Spencer Scottish Limited Partnership holds £1.5bn of properties which have been leased back to Marks <strong>and</strong> Spencer<br />

plc at market rates. The Group retains control over these properties, including the flexibility to substitute alternative properties.<br />

The limited partnership interest (held by the Marks & Spencer UK Pension Scheme) entitles the Pension Scheme to receive an<br />

annual distribution of £71.9m from the profits of the Partnership earned from rental income, discretionary at the instance of Marks<br />

<strong>and</strong> Spencer plc. The discretionary right is exercisable if the Group does not pay a dividend or make any other form of return to<br />

its shareholders.<br />

This is an equity instrument, disclosed within other reserves. Since the Group has paid an interim dividend in relation to 2010/11,<br />

the associated distribution of £71.9m is payable to the Pension Scheme <strong>and</strong> has been recognised as a liability (last year £71.9m),<br />

<strong>and</strong> is reflected as reduction in other reserves. When such reserves are no longer sufficient, this distribution will be charged to<br />

retained earnings. The future value of total discretionary scheduled payments is approximately £791m (last year £862m).<br />

Under IAS 19, the partnership interest of the Pension Scheme in the Marks <strong>and</strong> Spencer Scottish Limited Partnership is included within<br />

the UK pension scheme assets, valued at £656.0m (last year £631.7m). For further details see note 11. The market value of this nonquoted<br />

<strong>financial</strong> asset is measured based on the expected cash flows <strong>and</strong> benchmark asset-backed credit spreads.<br />
