Assumptions used in calculating the funded status included:
2010 2009 2008
Long-term rate of return on plan assets ....................... 6.77% 6.89% 6.62%

Inflation ............................................... 3.40% 3.80% 3.10%
The plan’s investment policies and strategies are to ensure assets are available to meet the obligations to the
beneficiaries and to adjust plan contributions accordingly. The plan trustees are also committed to reducing the
level of risk in the plan over the long term, while retaining a return above that of the growth of liabilities.
The long-term rate of return on assets assumption has been derived based on long-term UK government fixed
income yields, having regard to the proportion of assets in each asset class. The funds invested in equities have
been assumed to return 4.0% above the return on UK government securities of appropriate duration. Funds
invested in corporate bonds are assumed to return equal to a 15 year AA bond index. Allowance is made for
expenses of 0.5% of assets. At December 25, 2010, the long-term UK government securities yield was 4.24%.
The allocation of assets is as follows:
Percentage of Plan Assets
Target
Allocation
2010 2009 2008
Equity securities ............................................. 73% 71% 76% 60% - 95%
Debt securities .............................................. 27% 27% 16% 0% - 30%
