FINAL NOTICE

To:
Susan McKenzie Beaumont
To:
The Freedom SIPP Limited

ACTION

1. For the reasons given in this Final Notice, the FSA hereby withdraws the approval

granted to Susan McKenzie Beaumont (“Susan Beaumont”) in relation to The
Freedom SIPP Limited (“TFSL”). This action takes effect from 14 January 2013.

REASONS FOR ACTION

2. The FSA gave Susan Beaumont a Decision Notice on 18 March 2011 which notified

her and TFSL that the FSA had decided to withdraw her approval in relation to TFSL,
pursuant to section 63 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “Act”).

3. On 14 April 2011, Susan Beaumont referred that Decision Notice to the Upper

Tribunal (Tax and Chancery Chamber) (the “Tribunal”), and on 13 April 2012 the
FSA applied to have that reference struck out.

4. The written decision of the Tribunal was released on 17 August 2012 and can be

found on the Tribunal’s website at:

5. The Tribunal decided that the reference should be struck out, and the FSA accordingly

withdraws Susan Beaumont’s approval in relation to TFSL, pursuant to section 63 of
the Act.

6. The FSA takes this action on the grounds that Susan Beaumont has acted without

integrity and is not a fit and proper person to remain approved to perform controlled
functions. Specifically, she was prohibited by The Pensions Regulator on 20 August
2009 from acting as a trustee of trust schemes in general.

PROCEDURAL MATTERS

7. This Final Notice is given under, and in accordance with, section 390(2) of the Act.

about the matter to which this Notice relates. Under those provisions, the FSA must
publish such information about the matter to which this Notice relates as the FSA
considers appropriate. The information may be published in such manner as the FSA
considers appropriate. However, the FSA may not publish information if such
publication would, in the opinion of the FSA, be unfair to Susan Beaumont or
prejudicial to the interests of consumers.

9. The FSA intends to publish this Final Notice and such information about the matter to

which this Final Notice relates as it considers appropriate.
