Capita agrees Arch cru investor package with FSA

21 June 2011 Capita agrees terms of Arch cru investor package with FSA The Capita Group Plc ('Capita') today announces that Capita Financial Managers Limited (`CFM') has agreed with the FSA to contribute to and administer a package for investors holding shares in sub funds of CF Arch cru Investment Funds or CF Arch cru Diversified Funds (together the 'Arch Funds'), dealings in which were suspended on 13 March 2009. Under the terms of the agreement CFM will, alongside BNY Mellon Trust & Depositary (UK) Limited and HSBC Bank plc, the depositaries to the Arch Funds, voluntarily contribute towards the establishment of a £54 million payment scheme. The scheme, when taken together with distributions already made to investors and the value of the remaining assets of the Arch Funds as at 31 March 2011, is currently estimated to return to investors around 70 per cent of the net asset value of the Arch Funds as published at the date of suspension. The FSA considers that this agreement is a fair and reasonable outcome, which is in the best interests of investors. The FSA will, in due course, publish a statement of its findings in relation to CFM's role regarding the Arch Funds. No financial penalty will be imposed by the FSA on CFM. The agreement, reached with the FSA without admission of liability, will help achieve certainty and finality for investors in the Arch Funds and thereby assist in reaching a conclusion of the matter. CFM's contribution to the package is covered by provisions which were made in Capita's 2009 accounts, and no further provisions in relation to the Arch Funds are anticipated to be required. -ends- For further information: The Capita Group Plc Tel: 020 7799 1525 Paul Pindar, Chief Executive Shona Nichols, Corporate Communications Director Capita press office Caroline Mooney Tel: 0207 654 2152/020 7654 2399 (out of hours) Notes to editors The Capita Group Plc is the UK's leading provider of BPO and integrated professional support service solutions.
