The ABI Pension Fund, Suncrush Pension Fund and Suncrush Retirement Fund are funded schemes of <strong>the</strong> defined benefit type based on<br />

average salary with assets held in separately administered funds. The surplus apportionment schemes for <strong>the</strong> ABI Pension Fund, <strong>the</strong> Suncrush<br />

Pension Fund and Suncrush Retirement Fund have been approved by <strong>the</strong> Financial Services Board.<br />

The active and pensioner liabilities in respect of <strong>the</strong> ABI Pension Fund and <strong>the</strong> Suncrush Retirement Fund have been settled. The only liabilities<br />

deregistered and liquidated. The trustees have resolved that any surplus remaining in <strong>the</strong> Suncrush Retirement Fund should be transferred to<br />

<strong>the</strong> Suncrush Pension Fund, although this has not yet been approved.<br />
