Van Lanschot agrees new pension scheme
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, 5 January 2015
Van Lanschot and its Works Council have reached agreement on a new pension
scheme, which will be a mix of collective and individual defined contributions
from 1 January 2015. Van Lanschot will be under no obligation to make any extra
payments, nor will it be entitled to any pension fund surpluses.
The change will help Van Lanschot limit the risks and volatility of its pensions
bill, and it has made a one-off payment of ? 50 million into the Van Lanschot
pension fund to make up for the risks so transferred.
In 2014, the pension scheme adjustment should have a net positive effect of over
? 50 million on Van Lanschot's net profits, due to the release of the net
pension liability and the recognition of the one-off payment.
The effects of the new scheme on the phase-in Common Equity Tier I ratio will be
negative.
On 30 September 2014, this ratio (not including retained earnings in the current
financial year) stood at 14.1%. The phase-in Common Equity Tier I ratio is
expected to fall by around 1 percentage point to reflect the change in the
pension scheme, or around 0.4 percentage points including retained earnings. The
new arrangements will have only a limited effect on the fully loaded Common
Equity Tier I ratio.
Van Lanschot's annual results for 2014, which are scheduled for release on 10
March 2015, will incorporate the effect of the change to the pension scheme.
