Legal & General Retirement America Completes Pension Risk Transfer Deal with Rolls-Royce North America Inc.

LGRA Announces c.$145 million plan termination

Legal & General Retirement America (LGRA) announced today that it has completed a c.$145 million pension risk transfer (PRT) transaction with Rolls-Royce North America Inc. The deal, which closed in July, covered approximately 1,200 plan participants from the Retirement Plan for Rolls-Royce North America, and came on the heels of LGRA’s largest H1 to date in the US PRT market. Aon advised Rolls-Royce on this transaction.

Legal & General Group (Legal & General) has a long-standing relationship with Rolls-Royce providing both investment and pension de-risking expertise and support in the UK. In 2019, Legal & General secured a £4.6 billion transaction with the Rolls-Royce UK Pension Fund, and in 2016, a £1.1bn buyout for the Vickers Group Pension Scheme.

George Palms, President, Legal & General Retirement America

“We are thrilled to expand the relationship between Legal & General and Rolls-Royce with this transaction and are committed to providing these participants with the world class customer service for which we are known. This deal demonstrates Legal & General’s position as a global PRT market leader and underscores why companies value our pension risk solutions.”

Fiona Brown, Head of Pensions, Rolls-Royce

“We are pleased to have secured the retirement income for our former colleagues and their families, which is the result of prudent funding of our pension plan over many years. As well as providing further security for pension participants, the transfer strengthens and de-risks our balance sheet which is good for our business, employees and investors. We will always act to ensure that our pension promises are fulfilled.”
