The bonds are to be issued on Monday, 25 June 2018. BT will use the proceeds from the issuance of these bonds to make pension deficit contributions under the recovery plan agreed between BT and the BTPS as part of the 2017 funding valuation agreement.
The BTPS intends that no more than GBP600m in aggregate nominal amount of the six tranches of bonds may be sold over the three years following their issue.
The issuance of these bonds is an important element of the pension funding plan announced by BT on 10 May 2018, and provides the BTPS with a long term Sterling denominated asset.
