The UK’s second-largest supermarket chain said it was also lifting the level of employee contributions to its final salary pension scheme to 7% from 4.25%.
“These actions will go a long way to reduce our funding deficit and are in the best interests of both our colleagues and our shareholders,” chief executive Peter Davis was quoted as saying by Reuters.
