NOTES: The above distribution will remain operative until you elect to make any further change. This means a single redistribution of your account will be made at the next available valuation date in accordance with the above. Where you have specified a split for your accumulated Lifestyle Fund but not for your future contributions, your future contributions will be allocated to your Lifestyle account in accordance with the split specified for your existing fund. Any future transfers from other pension schemes will be distributed according to the investment split used for your future contributions. Transactions are carried out on valuation days. These are usually on Wednesdays as well as on the last working day of a month. If you want to know the exact date of the next valuation day please check our website www.gmgpensions.co.uk or contact the Pensions Department. Applications need to be received in the Pensions Department by 3pm two days before the valuation day. When completed, this form should be returned to Guardian Media Group, Pensions Department, Centurion House, 129 Deansgate, Manchester M3 3WR, or by Fax 020 3353 3125 or by email to pensions@gmgplc.co.uk. It will be acknowledged as soon as possible. The acknowledgement will confirm the valuation day for your transaction. Please remember that your override choice is your own. As explained in the Lifestyle Plan literature the Pensions Department are not able to advise in this area although we can of course help with explanatory information if needed.
