MONEY LAUNDERING REGULATIONS Under current regulations we are required to verify the identity of our customers. In order to meet this requirement and for the prevention and detection of fraud, we will access information from a credit reference agency* to confirm your identity. They will authenticate your name, address and date of birth, which involves checking the details supplied to us against those held on any databases that the company carrying out the checks on our behalf (or any similar company) has access to. This includes information from the Electoral Register. We will use scoring methods to authenticate your identity. Our search will not be used by lenders or insurers when assessing lending or insurance risks.

If you give us false or inaccurate information and we suspect fraud, we will record this and share this information with other organisations. If you provide us with information about another person, we will treat this as confirmation that they have appointed you to act for them to consent to the processing of their personal data. This means that you have informed them of our identity and the purpose for which their personal data will be processed, namely to verify their name, address and date of birth. Where Scottish Widows receives notification affecting the legal ownership of the plan, or the appointment of an attorney under a Power of Attorney or other circumstances where there are new parties associated with the contract, the same process as set out above will apply. Please note that if we cannot confirm your name, address and date of birth by using a credit reference agency we may contact you to ask you to supply certain documents to verify this information. If you ask, we will tell you which credit reference agency we have used so you can get a copy of your details from them. *Please note we only use this agency to verify identity to fulfil anti-money laundering regulations and not to check credit worthiness. Conflicts of interest In accordance with FCA regulations we have established and implemented procedures for identifying, and preventing or managing, conflicts of interest. Conflicts of interest can occur in our day to day business activities, for example, where one of our clients could make a gain at the direct expense of another client, or we might be faced with an opportunity to make a gain but this would be to the direct disadvantage of one or more of our clients. 7

9 Depending on the exact nature of the conflict of interest involved, we may take certain actions to lessen the potential impact of the conflict. Such actions may include putting in place controls between the opposing sides of the conflict, which may control or prevent the exchange of information, and/or involve the appropriate management of staff activities and segregation of duties. In instances where such controls would not be enough to eliminate the potential risk of damage to clients from specific conflicts, we will disclose the general nature and/or source of those conflicts of interest to you and the steps taken to lessen the potential risk, before we take on the relevant business. Our procedures for dealing with conflicts of interest may be revised and updated from time to time. If you would like more information on the procedures, or on any specific conflict of interest that you think might affect you, please contact us. 8
