Charitable Assignment Scheme We wish to avoid disruption to our business caused by speculators and allow customers access to our competitive savings accounts and mortgages. Therefore all new customers opening a savings account or applying for a mortgage with Norwich & Peterborough Building Society ( N&P ), which confers membership of Yorkshire Building Society, are required to agree to assign any windfall conversion benefits to which they might become entitled to the Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation. This agreement will continue for a period of 5 years from the date you become a member irrespective of the number of investment and mortgage accounts you open in that 5 year period. At the end of the 5 year period, you will be entitled to keep any windfall conversion benefits which may arise after that date. In certain circumstances Yorkshire Building Society may not apply this requirement e.g. on the death of an investor (who was not subject to the charitable assignment) where the money is transferred into a new customer account opened by a beneficiary. Also if: (i) You were a member of Norwich & Peterborough Building Society immediately before its merger with Yorkshire Building Society and have been a member of Yorkshire Building Society since that date; and (ii) you made a declaration to assign any windfall conversion benefits to N&P s selected charity ( the N&P Scheme) when you became a member of Norwich & Peterborough Building Society, then you will continue to be subject to the N&P Scheme after the effective date of the merger between Yorkshire Building Society and Norwich & Peterborough Building Society. In the case of the N&P Scheme, the agreement to assign is in favour of a selected charity and is a permanent assignment. If immediately before the merger you were assigned to both the N&P Scheme and the Yorkshire Building Society 5 year scheme, and you continue to be a member of Yorkshire Building Society, then you will continue to be bound by the Yorkshire Building Society scheme for the remainder of the 5 year period, as well as being bound by the N&P Scheme for as long as you remain a member of Yorkshire Building Society.
