4 Update on provision to deal with legacy matters 6.5m provision announced July 2017 to deal proactively with certain legacy matters arising from former Spearpoint business (acquired 2012) relating to some discretionary portfolios formerly managed by Spearpoint, now managed by our Jersey office, and a Dublin-based fund, for which Spearpoint acted as investment manager No legal liability accepted but deeply committed to treating customers fairly and seeking to protect our clients best interests; accordingly developed a plan to resolve those matters On the discretionary portfolios: Became apparent that offer calculations were affected by quality issues in data derived from legacy systems Initiated a review of the data sources, calculations and methodology, requiring extensive use of third party expertise to extract the data, and for advice and quality assurance to ensure that any revision was fair to clients Review now concluded, final offer letters to be issued by end of March 2018 In parallel, extensive discussions with the Board of the Dublin-based fund Goodwill proposal made to the directors of the fund in October 2017 Made some progress but have been unable to reach agreement yet Remain committed to reaching a settlement on terms in line with initial proposal Effect of movements in the expected total cost of goodwill offers and associated expenses is an increase of 5.5m from the previous provision to 12.0m, providing for the additional amount as an exceptional item 4
