Morrisons bidder Clayton Dubilier and Rice has pledged to commit more properties to the grocer’s pension pot.
The New York-based group, one of two US private equity firms vying to buy the grocer with a £9.7bn offer, said it would commit extra Morrisons properties to the pension funds as security, giving them a legal claim over the real estate in the event of an insolvency.
It would also retain the schemes’ existing governance structure and share information with the trustees, it said.
