Issue - meetings

This draft investigation report - BCP FuturePlaces Ltd (FPL) covers scope areas 1 to 8 (all scope areas).

This A&G Committee meeting will be the second meeting on this matter. The Committee has previously reviewed an initial part A which covered scope areas 1 to 4 at a meeting on 24 September 2025. The meeting only managed to review scope areas 1-3.

To allow the Committee sufficient time to digest and review the findings to determine next steps there may be a need for a least one further meeting.

At the conclusion of this investigation there may still be gaps in understanding, and the Committee may or may not decide that further investigation through other means is required.

NOTE:
