Capita Group PLC
30 May 2007



                        Capita selected by Resolution plc
                        as strategic outsourcing partner


The Capita Group Plc ('Capita') announces that it has today signed a contract to 
become a strategic outsourcing partner of Resolution plc ('Resolution'), the largest 
specialist manager of in-force UK life funds with an estimated 7 million policyholders 
and assets under management of £61 billion. The contract is worth approximately 
£580 million over 12 years and involves both closed and open book policies.

The strategic partnership will see Capita delivering customer services, IT services, 
policy servicing, claims and new business processing for approximately 4.5 million 
policyholders and future new business in the Phoenix Life Assurance (formerly Abbey 
National Life), Scottish Mutual, Scottish Provident and Phoenix Life (formerly Britannic 
Assurance, Britannic Unit Linked Assurance, Britannic Retirement Solutions and Alba 
Life) funds.

Resolution has today informed its staff in Glasgow and Wythall of this partnership. 
The deal will involve the transfer of around 2,000 staff to Capita under the TUPE 
regulations. Service transfer is expected to commence on 1 August 2007.

The contract includes plans, agreed between Capita and Resolution, for the offshoring 
of a substantial amount of back office work. All customer-facing and 'voice' roles, 
however, will continue to be delivered from operations in the UK and customer data 
will remain in the UK.

Paul Pindar, Chief Executive of Capita commented: 'Capita is delighted to engage 
in this strategic alliance with Resolution plc. With both companies having strong 
positions and growth strategies in the life and pensions market, our aim is to build 
a mutually beneficial partnership to support the future growth of both Resolution 
and Capita. We look forward to working with Resolution to deliver high quality 
outsourced support, allowing them to concentrate on growing their core business. 
Capita is now the clear leader in the outsourced life and pensions market where 
we support a growing number of life assurance companies and consolidators.'

Mike Biggs, Group Chief Executive at Resolution, said: 'We chose Capita because 
we believe that they can best deliver a business transformation programme designed 
to increase the quality and dependability of our services to customers. In addition 
they have experience of the particular needs of regulated financial products providers. 
We also believe that they have the capability to manage the planned offshoring programme 
with both efficiency and sensitivity. We look forward to working in partnership with them.'
