Brain & Company, Limited) who believes that they may be entitled to benefits from the Scheme and has not already been contacted by the Trustee about the winding-up of the Scheme, or any other member, beneficiary, creditor or anyone else believing they have any interest in the assets of the Scheme, or who have a claim against, or entitlement to, the Scheme that has not been notified by the Trustee must contact the Trustee as soon as possible, and in any event within two months of the date on which this notice is published.
