consultation with the employer. The employer will want to maintain a good relationship with the Trustees to avoid potentially costly disagreements over the funding approach or other issues. Buyers often need to agree specific measures, such as upfront contributions or restrictive dividend policies, with Trustee boards, in order to secure their consent to a transaction. Without this a buyer will be at much greater risk of intervention by the Pensions Regulator, which has the power to require additional pension contributions and even to launch criminal prosecutions against individual executives. </div> </div> </div> <div class="pt-6"> <div>  <button @click="openQuestion === 2 ? openQuestion = null : openQuestion = 2" type="button" class="flex w-full items-start
