Subject: Board meeting tomorrow and the agenda and decisions sought
Dear all,
Given the papers for tomorrow’s meeting were only circulated this morning and there are a lot of important decisions
to take the team has reviewed which decisions might wait, which are urgent and why. To this end item 1 on approval
of the decision making tools has been deferred to next week. The rationale and asks for the remaining items is as
follows:
1. Post Conviction Claims (Alan Watts)
a. Strategy (with HSF paper).
° A decision on strategy is needed sooner rather than later to avoid being “bounced” into litigation but we can
introduce this for discussion this week and follow up next week for decisions. Getting approvals for interim
payments (the next agenda item) may help ameliorate the litigation risk.
b. Interim Payments (with HSF paper)
° We would like the Board to take a decision on the interim payment point so that we can get the ball rolling
with UKGI around shareholder approvals and funding. There was support for these payments in principle last

costs.
2. HSS (Alan Watts)
a. Potential routes of challenge to the Scheme (with HSF paper)
® This is for noting only, ahead of sharing HSF’s paper with BEIS.
b. Rate of interest (HSF paper)
e We would like the Board to decide whether they want to make ‘a
FY The decision can probably wait a week, but would bene
enable HSF’s paper to be shared with BEIS.

c. Further discussion on the proposed amendment to the Terms of Reference
° We propose to discuss only this agenda item.
I will include these notes on the agenda posted on Diligent for reference.
