The current schedule of deficit recovery contributions provides for a contribution of approximately £47m during 2016. In addition, the company has pledged a share of any material disposal proceeds to the pension scheme (to be shared in the same proportion as the pension scheme deficit bears to overall group indebtedness) and has agreed that additional contributions would be made in the event that the average annual dividend payment to ordinary shareholders over the three financial years 2015, 2016, 2017 exceeds a certain threshold or in the event that the company makes a significant special dividend payment (or equivalent capital return), to its ordinary shareholders over the same period.
