Britannia, a trading name of The Co-operative Bank plc NO - Please note: Discharges Post Merger - 1. Registered land where the original charge was granted by Britannia Building Society but the discharge is by The Co-Operative Bank Plc trading as Britannia - the merger document i.e Transfer Agreement between Co-operative Group Limited, Co-operative Financial Services Limited, The Co-operative Bank plc and Britannia Building Society dated 11 March 2009 should be listed in the Form 4. There is no need for this document to be submitted as it has already been provided to Registers of Scotland. 2. Sasine discharges Where the Co-operative Bank plc grants a discharge of a standard security registered or recorded prior to the merger date, where the original grantee was the Britannia Building Society, the discharge should deduce title from the Britannia Building Society, referring to the merger document in the terms similar to the following:
?which standard security was last vested in the said Britannia Building Society as aforesaid and from whom we the said Co-operative Bank plc acquired right by virtue of Transfer Agreement between Co-operative Group Limited, Co-operative Financial Services Limited, The Co-operative Bank plc and Britannia Building Society dated 11 March 2009?
